A sunflower seed is a small, stripy, teardrop-shaped case.
Its job is to:
Hold a tiny baby plant and its first packed lunch safe inside.
💡 Fun Facts
- A seed has a hard coat (like armour!) to protect the baby plant inside it.
- A seed doesn't need sunlight to start growing! It just needs to be damp and warm. It uses the food stored inside itself to get started.
- A single, giant sunflower head can make over 1,000 new seeds!
