(d) It is essential for producing new plants in angiosperms.
Ans: (a)
The process shown in the diagram is germination. Germination is the process of seeds developing into new plants. The presence of light, water and warmth is essential for the process to take place. Seeds remain dormant if these conditions are not met. As the process of germination starts, all the metabolic activities including respiration speed up. Root is the first part of the seed that comes out in the soil and anchors the seedling in the soil. Germination is essential for the continuity and propagation of flowering plants.
