They are covered by a hardened seed coat called a testa.

They contain a diploid embryo or zygote.

They are nourished by a single (monocotyledonous) or double (dicoltyledonous) tissue; this/ these cotyledon(s) become the first primary leaves on germination.

Seeds are contained in the ovary (or fruit) until ripe (although there are few exceptions).

Seed can remain viable (for germination) from anywhere between 30 days and 100 years - there is a recent example of a 30,000 frozen seed (Siberia) being sucessfuly germinated (Feb 2012)

How do characteristics help you to classify seeds?

Characteristics such as size, shape, color, texture, and markings can help classify seeds by identifying key traits unique to each seed type. These characteristics can provide important information about the plant species, growth requirements, and potential uses of the seeds. By observing these traits, botanists and horticulturists can properly categorize and differentiate seeds for various purposes.
