Plants that show hypogeal germination grow relatively slowly, especially in the first phase. In areas that are regularly flooded, they need more time between floodings to develop. On the other hand, they are more resistant when a flooding takes place. After the slower first phase, the plant develops

Plants that show hypogeal germination need relatively little in the way of external nutrients to grow, therefore they are more frequent on nutrient-poor soils. The plants also need less sunlight, so they can be found more often in the middle of forests, where there is much competition to reach the

Later, it was discovered that there are rare cases of species where the germination is epigeal and cryptocotylar such as 275: 250: 245: 241: 272: 164:. The evolutionary strategy is that the plant produces a relatively low number of seeds, but each seed has a bigger chance of surviving. 179:
