PAGE 1 OF 5, WHAT IS A SEED?
EXTERNAL SHELL
A protective coat that keeps the life inside safe from drought and cold.
THE DNA CODE
A biological hard drive containing every instruction to build a 100-foot tree!
BIOLOGICAL MIRACLE
A HANDHELD TIME TRAVELER
A seed is more than a snack; it's a living system in suspended animation. Inside every seed is a tiny embryo (the baby plant) and a food store (the lunch box) to help it grow before it can reach the Sun. Some seeds can wait for 2,000 years to wake up!
