Detailed explanation-1: -The seed coat’s function is simultaneously to protect the embryo and to transmit information regarding the external environment. An impenetrable seed coat may help to keep the embryo safe, but at the same time it would exclude the sensing of environmental cues.
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: -Seed coat is the outer covering of the seed which protects the internal parts of the seed.
Detailed explanation-4: -Seed coat: This is the outermost covering of a seed. The seed coat has two layers, the outer testa and the inner tegmen. Hilum: The hilum is a scar on the seed coat through which the developing seed was attached to the fruit. Micropyle: It is a small pore present above the hilum.
Detailed explanation-5: -Testa (seed coat): Outer protective layer of the seed, developed from the integuments of the ovule, diploid maternal tissue. Fruits are mature, ripened ovaries containing seeds. The pericarp ("fruit coat") is diploid maternal tissue.
