Summary Introduction

To review:

An advantage of seeds over the spores of earliest plants.

Introduction:

Seeds and spores are both used to help plants or fungus to reproduce and make a new life. Each seed contains an outer seed coat, an embryo, most contain an endosperm. A spore is a unit of sexual or asexual reproduction that may be adapted for dispersal and for survival, often for extended period of time in unfavorable conditions. Spores form part of the life cycles of many plants, algae, fungi and protozoa.
