A seed is a begining of the life cycle of a flowering plant.It contains the tiny beginnings of a pleant and food store,all surrounded in atough outer coat.Seeds can stay dormant or inactive for years before germinating.That is why,it seems as if seeds are not living things.But this ability helps them to survive cold or drought.

Most Living things need food or minerals,water,sunlight and oxygen to survive to grow.In the same way,when conditions are favourable,the seed becomes 'alive' and starts to germinate.Therefore,seeds are living things.

Is a sunflower non-living or living?

A sunflower is a living thing. If you have a sunflower seed, that is the dormant state of the plant. The seed is actually an embryonic plant waiting to get out and see what the world is all about. At the proper time and temperature, with the help of a certain amount of light and nutrients, the plant will make its way up and out of the seed. There it will absorb light energy, soil nutrients and water, and eventually produce a flower. The sunflower ensures the next generation by producing seeds. And thus the circle is complete.
