What is a seed ? How does it help in reproduction in plants?

Explanation

A seed is the reproductive unit of a plant which can be used to grow into a new plant. It contains a body plant or embryo and food for the baby plant. The baby plant present in a seed is in the dormant or inactive state. When the seeds get suitable conditions of water, warmth, air and light, then new plants grow out of these seeds. In this way, the parent plant reproduces more plants like itself by forming seeds through flowers.
