Shiksha Nation · Accepted Answer

(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

Explanation:

Ovule is gradually converted into a seed. A seed is the reproductive unit of a plant. The seed contains a baby plant (or embryo) and food for the baby plant. The part of baby plant in seed which develops into shoot with leaves is called plumule and the part which develops into root is called radicle. The part of seed which contains stored food for the baby plant is called cotyledon.
