Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Seed coat is the outermost covering of a seed. It helps in the protection of the seed from the physical stress such as shock, temperature variations or water damage. It also helps the seed to remain dormant within the seed coat and germinates when there are favourable conditions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Membranous and fused seed coats are found in seeds of cereals such as maize (Zea mays). The seed coat is fused with the wall of the fruit.
