definition:	A seed is the small part of a plant that can grow into a new plant. Plants that grow from seeds have flowers. Sometimes, seeds fall from a plant into the ground near it, or sometimes the wind blows the seeds to some other place where they fall to the ground. When seeds are in the ground, the new plants can start to grow. Of course, people can pick seeds too and put them into the ground themselves. Some seeds are used for food by animals and people. I helped my mom plant seeds in her vegetable garden. I can't wait to see the plants come up!We put seeds outside for the birds to eat, but I think the squirrels ate most of them. synonyms: beginning similar words: bulb, cause, germ, grain
