Thanks for the link .. I sort of understood it! Lots of words I had to look up too. I'm thinking it said that the structures 'walls', endotesta contain starch grains which direct it toward the center during germination. I'm thinking a primitive cotyledon of sorts? I'm wondering what kinds of evolutional pressures created this seed!
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
