Answer

The parts marked 1 to 5 are:

  1. Testa
  2. Plumule
  3. Radicle
  4. Micropyle
  5. Cotyledon

Their functions are as follows:

  1. Testa — It protects the seed from insect and bacteria as well as from mechanical injury.
  2. Plumule — It develops into the shoot.
  3. Radicle — It develops into the root.
  4. Micropyle — It absorbs and allows the entry of as much water as is required for germination.
  5. Cotyledons — They contain stored food material which is used by the seedlings for growth.
