Macrophotograph of the early stages in the germination of a maize seed,Zea mays. Known popularly as corn,it is a monocotyledonous plant,possessing only one seed leaf. The radicle,later to become the root,breaks through the testa (seed coat) & grows downward into the soil as the first event of germination. The shoot,at this early stage,appears as a knob emerging upward. This extends,with the embryonic leaves bent under for protection,as the shoot rises through the soil.
