The name given to the shoot tip in the monocot embryo is "epicotyl". The epicotyl is the region of the embryo above the cotyledon and represents the shoot apex. It gives rise to the stem and leaves of the plant during germination and subsequent growth. In contrast, the hypocotyl is the region of the embryo below the cotyledon and represents the embryonic stem region, while the radicle is the structure that develops into the primary root. The plumule is the structure in the dicot embryo that gives rise to the shoot system, and it is not present in the monocot embryo.

Option a is the correct answer.
