What is the function of integuments in flowers?
Integuments, after fertilization turn to the seed coat, which protects the seed
What are the functions of integuments?
The ovule of an angiosperm, which will eventually become a seed, is surrounded by integuments. They are layers of protective sporophytic tissue that eventually develop into the seed coat. this is the only function i know about....:p
Does the integument harden to become the seed coat?
Integuments are modified to form the seed coat but hardening is not essential.
An angiosperm seed coat is formed from toughened parts of the?
Integuments of the ovule.It is indeed the toughened part of ovule
Why is the seed coat an important part of a seed?
The seed coat is hard protective covering of the seed, developed from the ovule integuments. On maturity it becomes impervious to water hence does not allow water to come out or enter inside. Thus it protects the seed from injury and drying out.

What part of a seed develops first?
In fact the development of a seed starts from an ovule, the ovule primordium develops on the placenta of the ovary. It gets enclosed by the outer and inner integuments, which form the seed coat on maturity. Thus seed coat develops first and after fertilization the embryo comes in to being.
Why do seeds have a outer covering as husk?
The outer covering of a seed better known as seed coat (husk) provides protection to the seed interior containing endosperm, embryo and the cotyledons. It develops from the integuments of the ovule. Various types of lignified ornamentation and deposits in the cells of seed coat help the botanists to identify seeds at species and variety level.
What is a seed coat?
The seed coat or testa is a protective covering that forms around the fertilized ovule.The coating is normally hard and water resistant and provides protection from dessication (drying out). Additionally the seed coat also allows the seed to be eaten by certain animals and birds which then pass the seed undigested through their digestive tracts and facilitate dispersal of the seeds. The seed coat is formed in the ovary shortly after fertilization from the integument.Once the correct conditions have been met for germination the seed coat will start to absorb water, soften and eventually split as the embryo inside starts to absorb water, swell and germinate.
