Answer:
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.
Seeds are the product of the ripened ovule, after fertilization by pollen and some growth within the mother plant. The embryo is developed from the zygote and the seed coat from the integuments of the ovule.
The primary function of seeds is reproduction in which plants perpetuate themselves, mainly sexually. This has been exploited in the deliberate production of seedlings known as plant propagation. Further, seeds help in the development of fruits.
