Inside all seeds are copies of the parent DNA in order to reproduce the previous generation.

Almost always there will also be a sufficient food supplyto propel the growth of the new plant when conditions are favourable. This food supply allows the development of the first roots and shoots.

An exception is some Orchids which do not have any food supply, and wait for a fungus to invade, whereupon they rely on the fungus to supply the nutrients for growth. An extreme orchid group never develop photosynthesis at all, and rely entirely on the fungus for all their growth! Gastrodia.

Simpler plants such as fungi and ferns do not have true seeds. But have developed successful propagation strategies.
