AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Coleorhiza**: Coleorhiza is a protective sheath that covers the radical (the embryonic root) of germinating seeds, specifically in monocots. 2. **Identifying the Function**: The primary function of coleorhiza is to protect the radical as it emerges from the seed during germination. It also helps in breaking the seed coat. 3. **Differentiating Between Monocots and Dicots**: Coleorhiza is specifically found in monocots (like cereal grains) and is not present in dicots. This is crucial for determining the correct answer. 4. **Analyzing the Options**: The options provided are: - Radical in dicots - Plumule in dicots - Plumule in monocots - Radical in monocots 5. **Selecting the Correct Answer**: Since coleorhiza is a cap-like covering over the radical in monocots, the correct answer is "Radical in monocots". **Final Answer**: Coleorhiza is a cap-like covering over the radical in monocots. ---
