Solution

In a seed, the embryo and its food supply are enclosed within a seed coat formed by the outer tissues of the ovule.

Explanation:

The seed coat develops from the integuments of the ovule and surrounds the embryo along with the stored food, protecting the seed until germination. This enclosure ensures the embryo’s safety and provides nutrients required for its initial growth after germination.
