Teacher: Now, understand the problem? If you are still confused, see the following example:
plant
Solution: stem
Reason: The answer is correct. Because a stem is one of two main structural axes of a vascular plant, the other being the root. Therefore, stem (i.e., meronym) is the part of plant (i.e., holonym).

Now, solve this instance: germ
Student:
