Detailed explanation-1: -In botany, seed is an undeveloped plant embryo and food reserve enclosed in a protective outer covering. More generally, the term “seed” means anything that can be sown, which may include seed and husk or tuber.

Detailed explanation-2: -The outer covering of a seed is called the seed coat. Seed coats help protect the embryo from injury and also from drying out.

Detailed explanation-3: -The outside of the package (the seed coat) develops from sporophyte tissues of the parent plant that are called integuments, one or several layers of sporophyte tissue that form the outer layers of the ovule.

Detailed explanation-4: -Seed Coat is a dry blend of nutrients applied to seed at planting. It is an extremely fine powder that will coat even the smallest of seed. Seed Coat creates a rich environment directly around the seed for a good, healthy start. Seed Coat can also replace Talc and/or Graphite.

Detailed explanation-5: -The outer covering of the seed is known as the seed coat. It develops from the integument of the ovule. The outer layer is called testa and the inner layer is called tegmen. The seed coat protects the seed and its other parts.
