A seed is a small embryonic plant enclosed in a covering called the seed coat, usually with some stored food . It is the product of the ripened ovule of gymnosperm and angiosperm plants which occurs after fertilization and some growth within the mother plant.
An embryo is a multicellular diploid eukaryote in its earliest stage of development , from the time of first cell division until birth, hatching or germination . In humans, it is called an embryo until about eight weeks after fertilization (i.e. ten weeks after the last menstrual period or LMP), and from then it is instead called a fetus .

Do seeds and spores have both multicellular and embryos?
While they have the same function- to reproduce- the main difference between seeds and spores is that seeds come from flowering plants (they are the ripened ovules of the plants) and spores are produced by non-flowering plants (they are tiny reproductive bodies). Seeds, since they are ripened ovules, have plant embryos with a food store and a protective covering around all of that. On the other hand, spores do not have stored food resources and can be made of one or many cells. So, seeds are multicellular while spores are usually unicellular, and seeds contain embryonic plants while spores do not (they themselves are the tiny reproductive bodies).
What exactly is a seed and how do they help plant success?
seed consists of an embryo packaged along with a store of food within a protective coat. seeds contributed to the embryos to be dispersed without drying out.
Do all Berries contain seeds?
All Berries contain some seeds.
Is a seed same as a pit?
Sort of, all pits are seeds, but not all seeds are pits.
How are embryos made?
An embryos is made when the fertilised egg cell divides in form a ball of cell which is an embryo.
Do seeds and spores have multicellular embryos?
no
What the fertilization?
the seeds and embryos and pollen
What fertilize the ovule?
SEED
How many embryos do the seeds of monocots have?
1 embro
Why do seeds contain embryos?
Seeds contain embryos to provide an energy source for the plant when it starts to shoot out of its seed. Think of it like the yoke for a chicken inside an egg. The yoke is the embryo of the egg.
What are undeveloped seeds in a flower?
Ovules before fertilzation, embryos after fertilization
Do all organisms start out as embryos?
No, not all organisms start out as embryos. Embryos are typically seen in higher animals that undergo sexual reproduction, where a fertilized egg develops into an organism. Organisms like bacteria and protists reproduce asexually and do not have an embryonic stage in their life cycle.
Which adaptation for successful development is characteristic of all embryos?
All embryos must have a mechanism for absorbing oxygen
What type of embryos have pharngeal slits?
All chordates embryos have pharngeal slits.
What are undeveloped seeds in a flower called?
Ovules before fertilzation, embryos after fertilization
What two things do all growing embryos need?
the 2 things that ALL growing embryos need are food and oxygen
