"The three main parts of a seed is an embryo, the cotyledon, and the seedcoat."
The three parts of a seed are the embryo, the cotyledon, and the seedcoat. The embryo is what grows into the plant, the cotyledon provides food for the plant to grow, and the seedcoat helps protect the plant until it grows large enough to survive better.

AnswerYes, the grain pretty much is the seed. When you buy it, the grain is all dried up, so all you can do is cook it. Actually the endosperm is protected in the outer shell or seedcoat of rice. But if the seedcoat is removed,the endosperm become inactive. So we can't grow paddy from rice grain that we buy from shops.
The three important parts of a seed are the seed coat, which protects the inner seed tissues; the endosperm, which provides nutrients for the developing embryo; and the embryo, which will grow into a new plant.
The seedcoat protects the resting embryo inside seed.
A seed consists of three main parts: the outer seed coat, the endosperm for nutrient storage, and the embryo containing the genetic information for plant growth.
