In monocots, the hypocotyl does not show above ground because monocots do not exhibit stem elongation. The part of the embryonic axis that projects above the cotyledons is known as the epicotyl.

Where is the hypocotyl found?

The hypocotyl (short for "hypocotyledonous stem", meaning "below seed leaf") is the stem of a germinating seedling, found below the cotyledons (seed leaves) and above the radicle (root).

Are all monocots Hypogeal?

Based on the Behavior of The Cotyledons, Germination is of two Types: Epigeal and Hypogeal and all Monocotyledonous Plants Under Go Hypogeal Germination and Dicotyledonous Plants Under Go Both Epigeal and Hypogeal Germination is There Any Evolutionary Reasons as Why This Happened.
