Gk. hypo: beneath, under + kotyledon: hollow space] • That part of the embryonic or seedling plant shoot that is below the cotyledons.
Embryonic stem in seed, located below cotyledons.
stem like region that connects the coltyledons to roots
Hypocotyl is a botanical term for a part of a germinating seedling of a seed plant. As the plant embryo grows at germination, it sends out a shoot called a radicle that becomes the primary root and penetrates down into the soil. After emergence of the radicle, the hypocotyl emerges and lifts the growing tip (usually including the seed coat) above the ground, bearing the embryonic leaves (called cotyledons) and the plumule that gives rise to the first true leaves.
