All of the cells would be identical.
The seed could form roots, but not leaves.

Answer:

All of the cells would be identical.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cell differentiation is necessary process for proper development of a living organism. The cells differentiate to form tissue and the group of similar tissues forms organs.

Related organs become part of organ systems and perform various functions. If cell differentiation doesn’t take place tissue and organ formation doesn’t happen.

The cell would be completely identical. Due to the lack of cell differentiation parts like leaf, stem etc do not form.
