Brown flax seeds

A seed ( /ˈsiːd/ (help·info)) is a small embryonic plant enclosed in a covering called the seed coat, usually with some stored food. It is the product of the ripened ovule of gymnosperm and angiosperm plants which occurs after fertilization and some growth within the mother plant. The formation of the seed completes the process of reproduction in seed plants (started with the development of flowers and pollination), with the embryo developed from the zygote and the seed coat from the integuments of the ovule.
Seeds have been an important development in the reproduction and spread of flowering plants, relative to more primitive plants like mosses, ferns and liverworts, which do not have seeds and use other means to propagate themselves. This can be seen by the success of seed plants (both gymnosperms and angiosperms) in dominating biological niches on land, from forests to grasslands both in hot and cold climates.
The term seed also has a general meaning that predates the above — anything that can be sown i.e. "seed" potatoes, "seeds" of corn or sunflower "seeds". In the case of sunflower and corn "seeds", what is sown is the seed enclosed in a shell or hull, and the potato is a tuber
Propagation can refer to:
Reproduction, and other forms of multiplication or increase
Plant propagation, the production of more plants by seeds, cuttings, grafting or other methods
Propagation of schema, in artificial reproduction
Wave propagation, the motion of waves
 Radio propagation, the application of wave propagation to radio communications
Software propagation, the distribution of free software in a manner explicitly permitted under the applicable license Propaganda
