A seed (in some plants) is a small developing plant amid in an accoutrement layering the seed coat, usually with some stored food. It is the artefact of the developed beginning of gymnosperm and angiosperm plants which occurs afterwards fertilization and some advance aural the mother plant. The accumulation of the berry completes the action of reproduction in seeds plants (started with the development of flowers and pollination), with the antecedent developed from the zygote and the seed covering from the integuments of the ovule. Seeds have been an important development in the reproduction and spread of beginning plants, about to added archaic plants like mosses, ferns and liverworts, which do not accept seeds and use added agency to bear themselves. This can be apparent by the success of berry plants (both gymnosperms and angiosperms) in assertive biological niches on land, from forests to grasslands both in hot and algid climates. The term seed additionally has a common meaning that predates the aloft annihilation that can be sown "seed" potatoes, "seeds" of blah or sunflower "seeds". In the case of sunflower and blah "seeds", what is sown is the berry amid in a carapace or hull, and the potato is a tuber. Seeds are produced in several allied groups of plants, and their address of assembly distinguishes the angiosperms ("enclosed seeds") from the gymnosperms ("naked seeds"). Angiosperm seeds are produced in an adamantine or ample (or with layers of both) anatomy alleged a bake-apple that encloses the seeds, appropriately the name. In gymnosperms, no appropriate anatomy develops to enclose the seeds, which activate their development "naked" on the bracts of cones. However, the seeds do become covered by the cone scales as they advance in some breed of conifer.
