Study Notes
- A seed has three main parts: seed coat, endosperm, and embryo.
- The embryo has four parts: radicle, hypocotyl, plumule, and epicotyl.
- Germination is the sprouting of a seedling when environmental conditions are favorable.
- Primary growth is vertical growth at apical meristems, occurring before secondary growth.
- Root growth has three zones: division, elongation, and maturation.
- Secondary growth is horizontal growth at lateral meristems, only occurring in woody plants.
- Vascular cambium produces secondary xylem and phloem, forming growth rings.
- New xylem is produced every year, whereas new phloem replaces old phloem.
- Cork cambium produces cork, the outermost protective layer.
- Water is essential for seed germination and growth.
