Solution
The shoot apical meristem in a dicot embryo is located between the two cotyledons.
Explanation:
In a dicot embryo, the shoot apical meristem is located in the embryonal axis between the two cotyledons. This region forms the plumule, which will give rise to the shoot system after germination. The root apex is formed at the radicle end, not the shoot apex, and neither the suspensor nor the endosperm contains the shoot apical meristem.
