A little aside to the Q, but some Orchids have lots of tiny tiny seed, that will not germinate if left to itself. Fine like flour.
For there is no 'food supply' inside. These seeds rely on a fungi to invade the seed, and then they draw their nourishment from the fungi.
One genera (at least) the Gastrodia have taken this to the extreme, and remain parasitic on the fungi for their lifetime. I believe they cannot manufacture chlorophyll.
This interaction between orchid and fungi goes some way to explain the "plant associations" observed with orchids - the real association is of the fungi with its plant community, and the orchid follows on.

How do seed germinate?
First, the root of the baby plant grows out of the seed. During this stage, the young plant is unable to make its own food. It gets its nutrients from the food stored in its seed leaves. The shoot appears next. The young plant can now make its own food when it develops leaves. The young plant then develops into an adult plant. When the flower of an adu,t plant is pollinated and fertilisation takes place, the cycle of reproduction repeats itself.
