Seeds are made of 3 parts.The first is the embryo,which will grow into the plant.The second part are seed leaves.There are not true leaves but leaves that provide emerging seeds with energy,until the time when the true leaves grow.The third part of a seed is the seed coat,or capsule,that protects the embryo.
Sees plants migrate across oceans ans wide swaths of land.Many seed capsules,like those of grasses,are carried by wind.Others can travel over large oceans distances,like coconuts.Birds and other animals ear seeds,passing them through their gut allowing seeds to take root wherever they are deposited.
The same protective measures that allow plant seeds to speard are the ones that gardeners must work against in order to allow thier crop to grow.Favorable conditions vary from species to species,but the factors contributing to favorable conditions are the same:heat,soil,light,and oxygen.Most seeds require soil temperatures of 60-90 degress.Not all seeds require light in order to germinate,but providing seeds with 12 to 14 hours of daylight,sets a growing schedule
Seed coats absorb water.Once water is available,the seed coat allowing the embryo and seed leaves to emerge.If water is not consistent then emerging plants die.Plants require oxygen and seeds are not different.The smaller the seed,the closer it's sown to the soil's surface.This allows oxygen to penetrate the soil and stimulate growth. At some point, the plant will develop flowers.
These flowers should not be picked since they will grow into fruit. These flowers contain nectar, which other organisms
like bees feed off of.The process of feeding off the nectar gets pollen all over the bees. When these bees try to eat the
nectar of other plants, they pollinate the plants.The flower of the plant falls off, and the ovary of the plant starts to grow.
With fruit,the ovary swells very large and the seeds form on the inside or outside of the fruit, depending on the species.
How the fruit develops sometimes depends on how many ovules were fertilized on the plant.Animals that consume this fruit
will spread the seeds around when they drop the seeds or when the seeds pass through the digestive system. This process
allows the seed to reach soil and germinate, starting the cycle all over again.
