radicle
Seed's first root
The radicle is the embryonic root of a plant—the first part to emerge from a germinating seed, anchoring it and beginning to absorb water and nutrients.
In anatomy, radicle refers to the smallest branches of a nerve or vessel, the rootlike origin points where larger structures begin.
