Answer:
A) The two cotyledons have absorbed the endosperm and supply the nutrients to the embryo. As the embryo emerges from the soil it consumes the nutrients and develops the shoot. The hypocotyl becomes part of the stem and the radicle develops into the roots.
Explanation:
Eudicot seeds are angiosperm that possess two cotyledons in their seed, their leaves originate from the principal central vein and radiate with networks of viens through the exteriors of the leaves. Eudicot seeds do undergo secondary growth.
The three primary parts of a seed are the embryo, endosperm, and seed coat. (from the innermost part to the outermost part respectively).
Now, in the process of germination of eudicot seeds, the two cotyledons absorbs the endosperm because the endosperm is a source of stored food (food substances stored as starch). Nutrients derived from these food substances are therefore supplied into the embryo.
As the embryo matures, it emerges from the soil. The embryo consists of two main regions
The embryonic root develops into the radicle . Hence, the radicle develops into the roots.
The embryonic shoot consist of two main parts (the epicotyl and the hypocotyl). The Hypocotyl therefore become the part of the stem.
