State
A seed carries stored food and a protective coat around a dormant embryo, letting it survive longer and disperse farther than a spore.
Show
A seed can stay dormant through a harsh season, then germinate once conditions favor growth, an option a bare spore lacks.
Watch for
A seed's advantage lies in stored resources and protection, not in greater genetic complexity compared with a spore.
