What is a seed? How does it help in reproduction in plants?
Answers
Explanation:
Plants that reproduce by seeds. Seed plants have special structures on them where male and female cells join together through a process called fertilisation. After fertilisation, a tiny plant called an embryo is formed inside a seed. The seed protects the embryo and stores food for it.
Seeds
Explanation:
In sexually reproducing plants, when fertilization occurs, a zygote is formed. This zygote divides several times to form an embryo, which is the future plant. The embryo is enclosed inside the ovule, which hardens and develops into a small, tough and persistent structure called the seed. The seed will germinate and develop into a seedling, the new plant, when it is in favourable conditions with the availability of soil, water and air. The seedling grows into a new plant. Thus, seeds help in reproduction.
