A seed is protected by its outer seed coat, which acts as a barrier to physical damage, pests, and germination inhibitors. The seed's dormancy mechanisms also help protect it by ensuring it remains quiescent until conditions are optimal for germination. Additionally, some seeds have evolved adaptations, such as hard endosperm or chemical defenses, to further protect themselves.
