This protects the growing acrospire (developing plant embryo) from damage during malting, which can easily lead to mold growth.

Seeds are necessary for plant embryos to survive the winter and other harsh conditions such as drought.

The seed contains the plant embryo.

They prevent the development of the bilateral growth of the plant embryo during the globular stage.

In botany, the radicle is the first part of a seedling (a growing plant embryo) to emerge from the seed during the process of germination.

Seeds contain food storage organs (e.g., endosperm) that provide nutrients to the developing plant embryo (cotyledon).

A seedling is a young plant sporophyte developing out of a plant embryo from a seed.

From that point, it begins to divide to form a plant embryo through the process of embryogenesis.

The plant embryo represents the first metamer of the shoot in spermatophytes or seed plants.

One can even see fernlets, plant embryos, clinging to their mother ferns.
