Seeds house and protect the tiny plant embryo produced during fertilisation. They also contain nutrient stores (endosperm) that provide energy to power the stages of germination, before the plant is able to begin photosynthesising and producing it's own food.

In the spermatophytes or seed bearing plants seeds aid in dispersal and in colonisation of harsh terrains. The endosperm and protective seed coat (testa) allow the seed to remain dormant until conditions are favourable for germination.

What do seeds have in common with spores?

Seeds and spores are both reproductive structures produced by plants. They both serve as a means of dispersal to start new plants. However, seeds are produced by flowering plants, while spores are typically produced by non-flowering plants like ferns and mosses.

How are gymnosperms and angiosperms similar how are they different?

Gymnosperms and angiosperms are both types of seed-producing plants. However, gymnosperms have naked seeds that are not enclosed within a fruit, while angiosperms have seeds that are enclosed within a fruit. Angiosperms also have flowers for reproduction, whereas gymnosperms typically have cones.

How are spores similar to seeds?

Spores and seeds are both reproductive structures produced by plants to ensure their survival. Both can remain dormant until conditions are favorable for germination, but spores are typically unicellular while seeds are multicellular structures with a protective outer layer. Additionally, seeds are produced by seed plants (angiosperms and gymnosperms) while spores are produced by a wider range of plants, including ferns, mosses, and fungi.
