Column I.
Column II.

A. Funicle

4. Attachment of ovule to the placenta

B. Epicotyl

2. Portion above the cotyledon

C. Perisperm 

3. Residual nucellus

D. Hypocotyl

1. Portion below the cotyledon

 

A. The structure of a typical angiosperm ovule consists of several parts. The ovule is a small structure attached to the placenta by a stalk called the funicle.(4)

B. Epicotyl: The epicotyl is the portion of the embryo plant above the cotyledon. It gives rise to the shoot system, including the stem and leaves, during germination (2).

C. Perisperm  develops from the nucellus and surrounds the embryo in some seeds. In some seeds such as black pepper and beet, remnants of nucellus are also persistent. This residual, persistent nucellus is the perisperm.(3).

D. Hypocotyl: The cylindrical portion below the level of cotyledons is hypocotyl that terminates at its lower end in the radicle or root tip. (1).
