Question

Can you imagine agriculture in the absence of seeds, or in the presence of seeds which germinate straight away soon after formation and cannot be stored?

Answer 1

Seed is a product of fertilisation and it consists of embryo. The seeds germinate to give rise to the root and shoot of the plants. It is disadvantageous if the seeds cannot be stored. This is because seeds if sowed in unfavourable conditions will not be able to germinate efficiently. Even if they germinate and the conditions are unfavorable for the growth of the plant, then this would lead to post harvest losses. Therefore, we cannot imagine agriculture without seeds or with those seeds that can germinate instantly.
