Difference between Epicotyl and Hypocotyl:
| Epicotyl | Hypocotyl |
|---|---|
| The segment of the embryo or axis between the plumule and the cotyledons is known as epicotyl. | The segment of the embryo or axis between radicle and the cotyledons is called Hypocotyl. |
| If the epicotyl elongates, the cotyledons remain underground and the germination is then called hypogeal germination. | If the hypocotyl elongates, the cotyledons are pushed above the ground and the germination is then called epigeal germination. |
