Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsC
Seed habit refers to the evolutionary development of seeds in plants.
The most important step toward seed formation is heterospory.
• Heterospory means production of two types of spores:
• Microspores → develop into male gametophyte
• Megaspores → develop into female gametophyte
This separation allows:
Retention of the megaspore within the parent plant
Protection and nourishment of the developing embryo.
