Seed Coat

Real World Example

Imagine trying to keep your smartphone safe from scratches and water damage. Just like a phone case acts as a barrier, protecting your device from external harm, the seed coat serves a similar purpose for a plant embryo. The seed coat is like a phone case for the plant's future, safeguarding the delicate embryo inside from drying out or getting damaged by the environment, just as a phone case protects your phone from drops and spills.
