Seeds

A seed is an embryonic plant enclosed in a protective outer covering. The formation of the seed is part of the process of reproduction in seed plants, the spermatophytes, including the gymnosperm and angiosperm plants.

Even though different kinds of seeds look different from each other, they all have a similar structure. A seed has three important parts: an embryo, stored food, and a seed coat. stops growing when it is quite small. When the embryo begins to grow again, it uses the food stored in the seed until it can make its food.
