Seedcase
Description:
Seedcase refers to the protective covering or shell that encloses seeds or embryos of plants. It acts as a barrier, safeguarding the delicate seed from external elements such as moisture, insects, or other potential threats. The seedcase can take a variety of forms, often depending on the specific plant species. It is an essential part of the seed's development and plays a crucial role in dispersal and germination.
Sample Sentences:
