Explanation:

  • A typical monocot seed has a short axis bearing plumule & a radical. The plumule differentiates to form the shoot while the radical forms the root system.
  • The plumule is surrounded by a protective conical-shaped layer called the Coleoptile.
  • The radical and root cap is surrounded by the protective undifferentiated sheath called the Coleorhiza.
  • Both these sheaths provide protection to the developing root & shoot tips.
  • Thus, the undifferentiated sheath which encloses the root cap in a monocot seed is termed as Coleorhizae.
