Dear student,

Advantages of seed formation:

1. The seed contains the future plant or embryo which develops into a seedling under appropriate conditions.
2. Seeds protect and nourish the embryo or young plant
3. Seeds help in dispersal to a new location,
4. During unfavourable conditions, seeds undergo dormancy thus protecting the embryo, till suitable growth conditions are obtained.
5. Most seeds are the product of sexual reproduction which produces a remixing of genetic material and phenotype variability that natural selection acts on.
