$\small\orange {\sf{seed \ coat!}}$

The outer covering of a seed is called seed-coat which is a protective covering and is known as testa. Seeds contain a small opening called micropyle through which water enters into the seed. The inner layer below the testa is called tegmen. Inside, seeds contain embryo which consists of cotyledons, radicle and plumule. Seed contains endosperm.

Answer 2

Answer:

THE OUTER COVERING OF THE SEED IS CALLED THE SEED COAT.

Explanation:

The outer cover of the seed is called the seed coat. The seed coat protects the embryo from damage and also from drying out. Seed pods can be thin and soft, like beans, or thick and hard, like locust and coconut seeds. The endosperm, a temporary grocery store, is packed around the embryo in the form of special sheets called cotyledons or seed leaves. These are generally the first parts seen when seeds germinate.

There are two layers. The tester is a thick outer layer. Tegmen is the inner layer. A thick seed coat protects the seed from sunlight and water. Prevents water loss and parasites from invading seeds. Hard seed husks prevent germination in adverse environmental conditions.
