The document describes the structure and germination process of dicot and monocot seeds. It explains that dicot seeds like beans have a hilum, micropyle, and cotyledons which supply food to the developing embryo. The radicle emerges first from the dicot seed and becomes the primary root. For monocot seeds like corn, the silk scar marks where the style attached and the point of attachment is similar to the stem of the bean flower. The endosperm of corn contains stored starch and the emerging structures are protected by the epicotyl sheath.
