Jonathan sows some pea seeds in one pot. Within few days the seeds germinate and a radicle forms, which gives rise to roots. How does a radicle give rise to the roots and why?

Aa pea is a monocot, so the radicle dies and gives rise to numerous branches.
BA pea is a dicot. so the radicle dies and gives rise to numerous branches.
CA pea is a dicot, so the radicle grows and gives rise to a main root and it's branches.

The answer is c. A pea is a dicot, so the radicle grows and gives rise to a main root and it's branches.

During germination, the first organ to grow in the seedling is a radicle. In dicots, the radicle grows and gives rise to the main root and its branches. Those ultimate branches are spread throughout very large and deep area in the soil and anchor the plant. In monocots, the radicle grows and gives rise to the main root only. New roots, in monocots, are so-called seminal roots that grow from the base of the radicle. Since the pea is dicot, its radicle gives rise to the main root and branches.
