CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The embryo lies between the endosperm and fruit wall with the large scutellum facing the endosperm. The scutellum is thought to be a modified cotyledon, or seed leaf.

Detailed explanation-2: -The fruit is the ripened ovary of a plant containing the seeds. After fertilization, the ovary swells and becomes either fleshy or hard and dry to protect the developing seeds.

Detailed explanation-3: -A seed is made up of a seed coat and an embryo. The embryo is made up of a radicle, an embryonal axis and one (wheat, maize) or two cotyledons (gram and pea). A seed is found inside a fruit which converts into a new plant when we plant it. Hence, the seed is the most important part.

Detailed explanation-4: -The outer covering of a seed is called the seed coat. Seed coats help protect the embryo from injury and also from drying out. Seed coats can be thin and soft as in beans or thick and hard as in locust or coconut seeds.

Detailed explanation-5: -Within the seed coat, we find the embryo and nutritional materials used to sustain the germinated seedling until it is able to make its own food via photosynthesis.
