The Italian noun 'seme' translates to 'seed' in English. It refers to the small, embryonic plant enclosed in a protective outer covering. Seeds are essential for the reproduction and propagation of plants.
In addition to being used in agriculture and horticulture, seeds have various other applications. They are used in the production of food products such as oils, flours, and spices. Seeds also play a significant role in the field of genetics and research.
Seeds come in different shapes, sizes, and colors depending on the type of plant they originate from. They can be dispersed by wind, water, animals, or humans. Some seeds require specific conditions to germinate, while others can remain dormant until favorable conditions arise.
