    Solution

    Hypogeal germination refers to a type of seed germination in which the cotyledons (seed leaves) remain below the soil surface after germination. In this process, the epicotyl (the portion of the embryo above the cotyledons) elongates and carries the plumule (shoot tip) above the ground, while the cotyledons remain in the soil. French Bean, Pea, and Bitter gourd all exhibit hypogeal germination.
