The mycropyle, or micropyle, is a small opening in the outer layer of a seed, specifically at the end where the seed was attached to the ovule. It serves as the entry point for water and nutrients during germination, allowing the seed to absorb moisture and initiate the growth process. The micropyle is crucial for seed viability, as it facilitates the rehydration of the embryo after dormancy.
