About this document
Understanding Seed Structure and Germination by jose is a document available to read on EtoBox.
A seed contains an embryo, food storage tissues called cotyledons, and a protective seed coat. The cotyledons store nutrients to nourish the embryo. Seeds are classified as monocots or dicots based on having one or two cotyledons. When conditions are right, seeds undergo germination where the embryo develops into a seedling through processes like sprouting and growth.
