The process of seed formation, known as seed development, begins with pollination, where pollen is transferred from the male reproductive organ (anther) to the female reproductive organ (stigma) of a flower. Once pollination occurs, fertilization takes place, resulting in the formation of a zygote. The zygote then undergoes multiple rounds of cell division and differentiation to develop into an embryo within the seed. Surrounding the embryo are protective layers, such as the seed coat, which provide protection and support for the developing plant embryo.
