Answer:
The different parts of seeds are embryo endosperm seed coat
Answer:
A seed has three parts:
Seed Coat : A seed coat protects the internal parts of a seed. The seed coat has two layers. The outer layer is thick and known as the testa. The inner layer is thin and known as tegmen. A thick seed coat protects the seed from sunlight and water. It prevents the loss of water and entry of parasites within the seeds. The hard seed coats prevent germination during unfavourable environmental conditions.
Endosperm : The endosperm contains the nutrients stored in it. It provides nutrients to the seed in the form of starch, carbohydrates and proteins to support the embryo during germination. It is located below the seed coat. The seeds remain viable with the intake of nutrients until germination. The endosperm may be mealy, continuous or ruminated. An endosperm has a triploid chromosome complement.
Embryo : The embryo is the most important part of a seed. It is diploid, developed from the fertilized egg. All the cells that need to develop into a mature embryo are present within the embryo. An embryo comprises the following parts:
Epicotyl
Hypocotyl
Radicle
Cotyledons
