Objective: Given a picture of a flower students will:
- label all the parts of the flower correctly.
- differentiate between the male and female parts of the flower.
- state the functions of the parts labeled.
Content

A seed has the following parts:


1. Seed coat: It is the outer covering of the seed. It protects the internal parts.
2. Seed leaves or cotyledons: Cotyledons are present inside the seed. Cotyledons absorb the food from the
parent plant and store it for the embryo. They also protect the embryo. Some seeds have two seed leaves
like gram, pea, bean, etc. Such seeds are called dicot or dicotyledonous. Some seeds have only one seed
leaf. They are called monocot or monocotyledonous.
3. Embryo or baby plant: It is present inside the seeds which develop into a new plant. The embryo gives
rise to a baby shoot (plumule) and root (radical).
Seed Dispersal

What is seed dispersal?


Seed dispersal is the way seeds get from the parent plant to a new place. "Dispersal" means to spread or scatter.
Plants cannot move after they have put down roots. It follows that it is an evolutionary advantage to get their
seeds away from the parent plant. Dispersal is, therefore:

 The transportation of seeds from the parent plant to different places.


 Seed dispersal allows the growth of the same kind of plants in different regions.
 This is helpful because it minimizes the competition for food, sunlight, water and minerals among the
plants of the same kind in the same area.
 It also allows them to grow in different habitats.
