P- The pericarp consists of the transformed wall of the ovary that covers the seed and acts as a protection for the embryo and endosperm.
Q- Coleoptile is the first true leaf and is modified to act as a protective covering for the plumule or first bud of the plant which grows throughout the soil during germination.
R: It develops into the future seedling root.
S: Scutellum is supposed to be the single cotyledon in the monocotyledoneus embryos. It is attached to the embryo axis in the scutelar node. It acts as a nutrient storage organ and serves to digest and transport the endosperm nutrients during germination Solution
