Procedure: Activity 8.7 asks us to germinate a Bengal gram and observe its new parts.

Observation: Two cotyledons of the seed become distinguishable with the formation of radicle and plumule.

Explanation: On soaking water, a seed breaks its dormancy and start growing. A small white tip emerges out from the seed which we call Radicle. Radicle, later on, develop into the root.

After a few days of radicle formation, another white structure comes out from the joint of seed. We call this Plumule. Plumule later becomes greenish and develop into the shoot.

Inference/Conclusion:

This experiment shows that a plant reproduces sexually to form seeds.
