- BIt is independent of water
- CIt is less dependable
- DIt requires immediate germination
Correct answer
B. It is independent of water
Step-by-step solution
Seeds offer several advantages to angiosperms . Firstly, since reproductive processes such as pollination and fertilisation are independent of water, seed formation is more dependable. Also seeds have better adaptive strategies for dispersal to new habitats and help the species 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
