Seeds are basically embryos.
Seeds are the result of male pollen from a plant uniting with the female egg. This action produces a seed, which is made up of three parts: the outer seed coat, which protects the seed; the endosperm, which provides food for the embryo; and the embryo itself, which is a young plant. Seeds are identified with sexual reproduction.
