Seed Structure and Germination

Biology

This content describes the development of fruits from ovaries, seed dispersal mechanisms, and the process of germination, which begins with water absorption. It also illustrates the structures of monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous seeds, highlighting the role of cotyledons in storing reserve food.
