Seed

A seed is a small, living reproductive unit of a plant that contains a developing embryo and stored nutrients, encased in a protective coat. It serves as the plant's way of reproducing and spreading. When conditions such as water, warmth, and suitable soil are right, the seed germinates, allowing the embryo to grow into a new plant. Seeds are essential for plant survival and diversity, enabling species to propagate over generations. They vary in size, shape, and characteristics depending on the plant species and environment.
