ALSO WHY IS THERE SO MUCH USELESS STUFF I GET PLEASE ACTUALLY HELP

Answer 1

Dulce is right.

Step-by-step explanation:

all viable seeds are living. to be viable, they must contain living, healthy embryonic tissue in order to germinate. so, ALIVE. All fully developed seeds contain an embryo and, in most plant species, a store of food reserves, wrapped in a seed coat, meaning that they ARE living.
