SEEDS Meaning and
Definition
-
Seeds are embryonic plants enclosed in a protective covering, typically found within the fruits of flowering plants. They are reproductive structures produced by plants to ensure their survival and dispersal. Seeds play a crucial role in plant reproduction, allowing plants to colonize new areas and propagate themselves.
The structure of a seed consists of three main parts: the embryo, endosperm, and seed coat. The embryo is the vital part of the seed that can germinate into a new plant under favorable conditions. The endosperm is a nutrient-rich tissue that provides nourishment to the developing embryo during early stages of growth. The seed coat, or protective outer layer, safeguards the embryo and endosperm from mechanical damage, disease, and desiccation.
Seeds display an incredible diversity in size, shape, and structure, varying from tiny dust-like particles to large and fleshy structures like coconuts. They can be dispersed by wind, water, animals, or through self-dispersal mechanisms such as explosive seed pods. Some seeds possess adaptations to withstand harsh conditions and lie dormant until conditions become favorable for germination.
Seeds serve as a primary means of plant propagation and are essential for agriculture and horticulture. They are used by humans for food, industry, and medicinal purposes. Additionally, seeds are of immense ecological importance as they contribute to the biodiversity and regeneration of plant communities. Through seed production and dispersal, plants are able to ensure their survival and adapt to changing environments.
