SEED POD A seed pod is an elongated, two-sided vessel that contain several fertilized seeds. It is a dehiscent fruit or pedicarp - the pod splits open when the seeds are mature. Beans and peas are some plants that have pods. A seed predator is an animal that eats and destroy seeds instead of eating the fruit and leaving the seed or dispersing the seed in the stool. Parrots are seed predators.
Seed predators limit the number of viable seeds.
The sepals are small leaves located directly under a flower - they are the outermost part of a flower. Collectively, the sepals are called the calyx . This allows the soil to recover and become rich and fertile again. It has been found in the layer that marks the K-T boundary, lending credence to the Alvarez impact theory . The shrub layer is the layer of the rainforest above the forest floor but under the canopy .
