Answer:
Reproduction is the biological process where a new individual organism is produced by their parents. In general, plants reproduce either asexually i.e. without seed formation or sexually i.e. with seed formation. The parts of plants involved in asexual reproduction are called vegetative parts (e.g. leaves, roots, stem) and parts of plants involved in sexual reproduction are called reproductive parts (e.g. a flower).
Let’s learn how a flower develops into fruits, seeds and different means of seed dispersal.
Seed Formation
A seed is formed when fertilised ovule divides by mitosis. It stores food and has the potential to develop into a new plant under optimal conditions.
Fertilization is the process of fusion of male gamete and female gamete to form a zygote. Pollen grains are transferred to stigma by various pollinating agents such as water, wind, butterflies, insects, animals, birds, etc. After reaching stigma, the male gametes fuses with the egg in the ovule and forms a zygote. Thus fertilization takes place and so formed zygote divides and develops into an embryo.
Following the fertilization, every part of the flower sheds off except ovary. The ovary of the flower develops into the fruit while ovules develop into seeds. The formation of seed completes the process of reproduction in plants. Within the seed, the growing embryo develops and matures
