The seed, which surrounds the plant embryo and protects it from desiccation in the uncertain conditions of a terrestrial environment, is one of the adaptations that has allowed plants to thrive as they gradually moved from water to land. Each seed consists of an embryo, food source, and protective outer coat; it can lie dormant for some time before germinating, waiting until environmental conditions are right.
