Answer
- Since reproductive process such as 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 colonise in other areas.
- As they have sufficient food reserves young seedlings are nourished until they are capable of photosynthesis on their own.
- The hard seed coat provides protection to the young embryo.
- Being products of sexual reproduction, they generate new genetic combinations/variations.
- Dehydration and dormancy of mature seeds are crucial for survival under adverse conditions.
