Seed Heteromorphism

Seed heteromorphism is a biological phenomenon in which a single plant species produces two or more distinct seed morphs within the same individual or population, differing in size, shape, dormancy, or dispersal characteristics, thereby enabling differential ecological adaptation and germination strategies under variable environmental conditions.
