Seed Polymorphism

Seed Polymorphism 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 traits such as size, shape, color, dormancy, or dispersal mechanisms, thereby enhancing ecological adaptability and persistence in variable environments.
