Answer
Embryo of monocors possesses only one coryledon at one end (lateral) of the embryonal axis and this coryledon is called scutellum.
At the lower end, the embryonal axis has radical and root cap enclosed in an undifferentiated sheath called coleorhiza. The portion of the embryonal axis above the level of artachment of scurellum is the epicotyl.
