A seed is composed of three basic parts: the embryo, food storage tissue and the seed covering. The embryo is a new plant resulting from union of male and female gamete during fertilization Plants: In botany, a seed plant embryo is part of a seed, consisting of precursor tissues for the leaves, stem (see hypocotyl), and root (see radicle), as well as one or more cotyledons. Once the embryo begins to germinate - grow out from the seed - it is called a seedling. Plants that do not produce seeds, but do produce an embryo, include the bryophytes and ferns. In these plants, the embryo is a young plant that grows attached to a parental gametophyte.
