The function of the radicle in monocot embryos is to develop into the root system of the plant. It is the embryonic root that emerges first from the seed during germination. Once it emerges, it begins to grow downward into the soil and develops into the primary root of the mature plant. The radicle also helps to anchor the seed in the soil and absorb water and nutrients from the soil, which are necessary for the growth and development of the plant. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
