2. ANATOMY AND
FUNCTIONS OF A
PLANT SEED
1.Seed Coat:
 Outer protective layer.
 Shields the inner parts from external factors.
 Embryo:
 Developing plant inside the seed.
 Contains the embryonic shoot (plumule) and embryonic
root (radicle).
 Cotyledons:
 Nutrient-rich structures that store food for the embryo.
 Can be one or two, based on the type of seed
(monocot/dicot).
 Endosperm (in some seeds):
 Additional food storage tissue.
 Provides nourishment for the growing embryo.

3. GERMINATION: THE
BIRTH OF A NEW
PLANT
 Absorption of Water:
 Triggered by favorable conditions (moisture, temperature).
 Activates enzymes for the breakdown of stored nutrients.
 Swelling and Splitting:
 Seed coat softens and swells.
 Eventually splits, allowing the emerging plant to grow.
 Root Emergence:
 Radicle emerges first, anchoring the seedling.
 Develops into the primary root.
 Shoot Emergence:
 Plumule emerges, growing towards light.
 Develops into the stem and leaves of the plant.

4. SIGNIFICANCE OF
PLANT SEEDS
1.Biodiversity:
1. Seeds contribute to the diversity of plant species.
2.Crop Production:
1. Seeds are used to grow agricultural crops.
2. Foundation of global food production.
3.Ecological Role:
1. Seeds support ecosystems as a food source for
animals.
4.Conservation:
1. Seed banks preserve genetic diversity for future
generations.
5.Human Use:
1. Used in gardening, reforestation, and landscaping.
