Maize (Zea mays) is not a fruit crop. It comes under cereal crops.

Oil and cereal crops(bean, pea, maize and coconut)

Difference between hypogeal and epigeal 1 . Cotyledons movement

2. Structure

3. Type

Epigeal - grow above soil - sugar apple, soursop, atemoya, chirimoya

Hypogeal - stay below surface - mango, avocado, coconut

Hypogeal germination is the type of germination in which the cotyledons remain below the soil because the epicotyl elongates while the hypocotyl does not.

👉 In fruit crops, mango (Mangifera indica) shows hypogeal germination.
