| Germinating wheat grains at two, three and four days after imbibition. The coleoptile is adapted to thrust its way through the soil to find the surface. The seedling roots quickly anchor the grain in the soil. The fine root hairs absorb water and nutrients from the soil supplementing the stored reserves from the endosperm. | |
