👉 A fertilized and ripened ovule, containing an embryonic plant.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a peek, At the word “seed,” so simple and sleek! The dictionary gives us quite the clue, "A fertilized and ripened ovule, it's true!" Let’s break that down in a rhythm we see, To really understand what "seed" means to me. “Ovule” is like an egg, you know so well, From a flower’s center, a magical spell! Fertilized means it's joined with a bee, (Or pollen grain, for all the world to see!) A special meeting, a wonderful start, Planting a future within its heart. And ripened just means ready and bright, Holding a promise of growing light! But what does it do ? What’s the seed's great aim? It holds an embryonic plant , whispering its name! That little sprout, so tiny and new, Waiting for sunlight to break through. Think of a sunflower, tall and grand, Or a pumpkin growing across the land – They all started as seeds, small and neat, A wondrous secret, wonderfully sweet! Does that make sense? Any questions you’d like to pose?
