Examples of embryonic plants:
* A bean seed: Inside the bean seed, you'll find a tiny embryonic plant with a root, stem, and cotyledons (seed leaves).
* A corn kernel: Similarly, the corn kernel contains a tiny embryonic plant with a root, shoot, and a single cotyledon.
* A sunflower seed: The sunflower seed also houses an embryonic plant, ready to sprout when conditions are right.
Key features of an embryonic plant:
* Tiny: It's a very small and undeveloped plant.
* Inside a seed: It's enclosed within the seed's protective coat.
* Dormant: The embryo remains dormant until it gets the right conditions (water, warmth, etc.) to germinate.
* Contains the basic plant structures: It has a root (for anchorage and water absorption), a stem (for support and transport), and leaves (for photosynthesis).
So, any plant that is in the seed stage and hasn't yet emerged from the seed can be considered an embryonic plant.
