Solution

Seed:
The embryo of a plant or fertilized ovule is called a seed. It results due to sexual reproduction in angiosperms.
It has the potential to germinate the new life if given all the ambient conditions of temperature, humidity, and required nutrition.
These are usually in their dormant or resting stage undergoing basic cellular metabolism.
Therefore these are considered alive.
