Advantages of seeds:-

• Since pollination and fertilisation are independent of water, seed formation is more dependable.
• Seeds have better adaptive strategies for dispersal to new habitats and help the species to colonize in other areas.
• They have food reserves. So young seedlings are nourished until they are capable of photosynthesis.
• The hard seed coat protects the young embryo.
• Being products of sexual reproduction, they generate new genetic combinations leading to variations.
• Dehydration and dormancy of mature seeds are crucial for storage of seeds. It can be used as food throughout the year and also to raise crops in the next season.
