Yes, plenty of food is stored inside seed either in the cotyledones or in the endosperm. This food is utilized by the seedling during seed germination.

Does large seeds germinate faster than small seeds?

As a general rule, light-sensitive germination is more pronounced in small seeds compared with large seeds. This is because smaller seeds have smaller food reserves in comparison to larger seeds. As the seedling is growing underground, it has no access to sunlight, so instead of using photosynthesis to produce food, the germinating seedling must use the food reserves in its seed to supply itself with enough energy to continue growing. Because the food reserve is very limited due to the small storage available in the small seed, the seedling must grow quickly and sprout out of the ground as fast as possible to gain access to the sun before it runs out of food. Meanwhile, larger seeds have much more food stored in their seeds, meaning they can take their time when growing. This is why small seeds germinate faster than larger seeds.
