After fertilization in plants, the zygote develops into an embryo, which is contained in the seed.

After fertilization in plants, the zygote develops into an embryo, not a seed:

1. Fertilization: A sperm cell fuses with an egg cell to form a zygote.
2. Zygote division: The zygote's cells divide, and the zygote develops into an embryo.
3. Embryo storage: The embryo is stored in a seed capsule until environmental conditions are right for it to develop into a new plant.
4. Seed development: The ovule develops into a seed, and the ovary develops into a fruit.
5. Seed germination: When conditions are favorable, the embryo in the seed gives rise to a new plant.
