SEEDS
All plants grow from seeds. Seeds are produced inside the flower
but end up in the soil in many ways. Some seeds blow
from the flower in the wind and land in the soil, some seeds
will be eaten by animals and dropped in different places, some
even float in water until they begin to grow, and many are put
into packets and bought by gardeners. Seeds are different
in shape and size for many reasons. Some seeds are light so
that they can blow in the wind, some can float so that they can
travel in water, some are large like a peach stone and some are
small like the seeds on a strawberry. Many seeds can be eaten
for example sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds can be
eaten by us. Coconuts can be eaten as can peas and beans
which are seeds from a plant .
