The outer covering of a seed is called the seed coat. Seed coats help protect the embryo from injury and also from drying out. Seed coats can be thin and soft as in beans or thick and hard as in locust or coconut seeds.

Despite an emphasis on fruit characters in Paullinieae taxonomy, few detailed morphological and anatomical studies of the gynoecia, fruits and seeds exist. The aims of the present study were (1) to provide a detailed documentation of gynoecium, fruit and seed structure and ontogeny in selected Paullinieae taxa;

The seed coat is mucilaginous due to a mucopolysaccharide. Polysaccharides are carbohydrate polymers. Starch and cellulose are more familiar carbohydrate polymers. Scientists at Purdue University have recently determined the chemical structure of the chia seed polysaccharide gel (Lin et al.

In most of the monocots (but not grasses), after the radicle has pushed out of the seed coat, the first shoot structure to emerge is the cotyledon, which arches upward with the remainder of the endosperm and the seed coat still attached.
