When seeds germinate which part of the plant will grow first?

The first part of a plant to grow is the root. The mesocotyle of the seed can be differentiated into epicotyle and hypocotyle. The hypocotyle is the part that grows into the root system and the epicotyle is that which grows into the shoot system. After the basic differentiation of the cells of the mesocotyle into those of hypocotyle and epicotyle, the root begins to form from the hypocotyle. It absorbs the initial essential minerals reqiured by the development of the rest of the parts i.e. the shoot.
