What is a seed? What does it contain?

Solution
Seed: A seed is formed from ovules after fertilization. The fertilized zygote divides and gives rise to embryo. Thus a seed contains a tiny plant or embryo. The embryo contains a tiny root called radicle, a small shoot called plumule and one or two cotyledons. The cotyledons contain food reserves.
