A seed contains an egg, which will grow into a new plant when fertilized. The seed contains an embryonic plant not an egg. The embryo has food stored for and they are enclosed in the seed covering. Thumbs up please....

Yes there is a 'developing plant' calledembryoin every seed. The embryo is the fertilized ovule while the fruit is generally develop from ovary. When the ovule is being fertilized by the male gamete, it become embryo and with proper conducive environment, it will germinate and will develop into tree.Even with 'not so powerful microscope' (10X10), you can see the developing structures such as plumule (developing shoot), radical (developing root). You can see the very young leaf at the tip of the plumule, but of course it's not green in color; it's white. The color green will only appear when chloroplast in the leaves tissues are being activated in the presence of light, i.e. when the leaf emerge from thegerminating seedand in the presence of light.Under a high powered microscope (10X40 or 10X60) you can see mass of cells, with large nucleus and not much cytoplasmYou have to have some knowledge on botany in order to identify parts of seeds, such as plumule and radical.
