Question

Mention four advantages of seed formation to angiosperms.

Answer 1

1. Protection: The protective seed coat that envelops seeds protects the embryo from physical harm and desiccation.
2. Dormancy: To ensure survival, seeds can stay dormant in adverse environments and sprout when favourable conditions arise.
3. Dispersal: Plant species can move to new locations thanks to seeds that are designed for dispersal by wind, water, or animals.
4. Food Storage: During germination and the early stages of growth, seeds store nutrients that give the embryo energy.
