Hypogeal
Hypogeal
means "underground".
In
botany
, a
seed
is described as
hypogeal
when the
cotyledons
of the
germinating

non-photosynthetic
, inside the seed shell, and below ground. The converse, where the cotyledons expand, throw off the seed shell and become
photosynthetic
above the ground, is
epigeal
.
