Answer to Question 1

The new plant emerges underground in the absence of sunlight. The food stored in
the seed allows the young plant to grow until it reaches the surface. Once it is in the
sunlight, it can begin making its own food



Answer to Question 2

The seed coat protects the embryo and its food supply
