Where do seeds come from? They are the byproduct of a flower or flower-like structure. Sometimes seeds are encased in fruits, but not always. Seeds are the primary method of propagation in most plant families.

Where did seeds originally come from?

Scientists believe that an extinct seed fern, called Elksinia polymorpha, was the first plant to use seeds. This plant had cup-like features, called “cupules”, that would protect the developing seed. These cupules grew along the plant's branches.

How a seed is made?

Seeds are the result of plant reproduction. ... When pollen lands on the flower's stigma, it germinates and forms a pollen tube, which then quickly grows towards the plant's ovary. Once it finds an ovule, the pollen tube bursts to release sperm cells, which fertilize the ovule and initiate seed formation.
