What does the embryo contain?
young plant and the begining of roots, stems and leaves

Usually green and softer stem type

The cotelydon is for?
the seeds food storage

Why is the seed coat important? What does it do?
Protects the embryo from drying out

When pine cones fall off a tree and land under the "mother plant"
Drop dispersal

One long thick main root
Taproots
300
Often brown, strong and supportive stem type
Woody stems
300
Vein pattern in which veins branch off petiole and spread out.
Palmate
