Solution

The seed:

  1. After fertilisation, ovules develop into seeds.
  2. A seed consists of an embryo and a seed coat.
  3. A radicle, an embryonal axis and one or two cotyledons are present in an embryo.

Seed germination:

  1. It is a process through which a new plant arises from a seed.
  2. For their growth and development, the cotyledon of seed absorbs more nutritious food.
  3. So, germinated grams are more nutritious.
  4. Crop quality and yield are also determined by the seed germination.
