Note: The characteristic reproductive bodies of both angiosperms (flowering plants) and gymnosperms (conifers, cycads, and ginkgos) and the ovary that encloses it. A seed consists of a miniature undeveloped plant (the embryo), which, alone or in the company of stored food for its early development after germination, is surrounded by a protective coat (the testa). Seeds are frequently small in size and suited to perform a wide variety of functions, such as multiplication, perennation (surviving seasons of stress such as winter), dormancy (a state of arrested development), and dispersal.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... De kenmerkende voortplantingsorganen van zowel bedektzadigen (bloemdragende planten) als naaktzadigen (coniferen, palmvarens en ginkgo's), en het vruchtbeginsel dat hen omsluit. Een zaad bestaat uit een piepkleine, onontwikkelde plant (het embryo), in sommige gevallen met een voorraad voedingsstoffen voor de eerste ontwikkeling na de ontkieming, en daaromheen een beschermend omhulsel (het testa). Zaden zijn veelal klein van formaat en vervullen verscheidene functies, zoals vermenigvuldiging, overleving van gevaarlijke seizoenen zoals de winter, een vorm van winterslaap en verstrooiing. |
