Epigeal versus Hypogeal Germination

Question

Distinguish between epigeal and hypogeal germination.

Answer

The main distinction between epigeal and hypogeal germination lies in the behavior of the cotyledons.
In epigeal germination, the cotyledons emerge above the soil, while in hypogeal germination, they remain below the soil surface.
