to protect the embryo
The plumule is the bud of a young plant; the portion of the plant embryo giving rise to the first true leaves. Without the plumule you'd have no leaves.
The plumule is the embryonic shoot of a seedling that develops into the plant's stem and leaves. Its primary function is to grow upward towards the light, facilitating photosynthesis and enabling the plant to establish itself. The plumule emerges from the seed after germination, playing a crucial role in the early development and growth of the plant.
At the time of pea seed germination only plumule comes out from the soil because its mode of germination is hypogeal. The entire seed remains undergound except the plumule.

plumule develops into a shoot and then form a shoot system

The structure in a seed that will develop into a plant's first leaves is called the embryonic shoot or plumule.
A plant plumule is the embryonic shoot that emerges from a seed during germination. It is the part of the seedling that will develop into the stem and leaves of the plant.
The primary Parts; of which there are two - the Root shoot and the Sky shoot. Edited answer: The germinated seed has a radicle and a plumule. The portion above cotyledones in plumule forms the shoot.
The type of dicot seed germination you are referring to is called epigeal germination. In this process, the hypocotyl elongates and raises the plumule and cotyledons above the soil surface, allowing for better access to light and air.
all i know is that it's the young shoot!
There are three structures that appear from the seed: the radical, the hypocotyls and the plumule. The first structure to appear from the seed is the radical, which is the root and grows downward into the soil.
