What are the two distinct regions developed in a soaked beans?

In soaked beans, two distinct regions develop: the outer seed coat and the inner cotyledons. The seed coat remains relatively unchanged, while the cotyledons absorb water and swell, initiating the germination process. This results in the activation of metabolic processes and the eventual emergence of a sprout. The contrast between the firm outer layer and the soft, expanding inner tissue is a key characteristic of soaked beans.
