Seeds are classified based on their botanical characteristics, plant families, and reproductive strategies. Here's a quick overview of the main seed classifications:
Seeds from plants with one cotyledon (seed leaf). These plants typically have parallel leaf veins and flower parts in multiples of three.
Examples: Corn, wheat, rice, lilies
Seeds from plants with two cotyledons. These plants typically have branched leaf veins and flower parts in multiples of four or five.
Examples: Beans, sunflowers, roses, oak trees
Seeds that develop on the surface of cone scales or similar structures, not enclosed in an ovary. These are "naked seeds" from ancient plant groups.
Examples: Pine nuts, fir seeds, spruce seeds, ginkgo
| Category | Description | Example Species | Common Traits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monocot Seeds | Seeds from plants with one cotyledon (seed leaf). These plants typically have parallel leaf veins and flower parts in multiples of three. | Corn, wheat, rice, lilies | One cotyledon, parallel veins, fibrous roots, scattered vascular bundles |
| Dicot Seeds | Seeds from plants with two cotyledons. These plants typically have branched leaf veins and flower parts in multiples of four or five. | Beans, sunflowers, roses, oak trees | Two cotyledons, branched veins, taproot system, ring-arranged vascular bundles |
| Gymnosperm Seeds | Seeds that develop on the surface of cone scales or similar structures, not enclosed in an ovary. These are "naked seeds" from ancient plant groups. | Pine nuts, fir seeds, spruce seeds, ginkgo | Naked seeds, cone-bearing, needle-like leaves, woody stems |
Note: This is a simplified classification. The plant kingdom includes many more seed types and classifications, including various families within angiosperms and gymnosperms, each with unique seed characteristics and germination strategies.
Our AI Seed Identifier uses advanced computer vision and machine learning to analyze seed images. Simply upload a photo of a seed, and the AI will identify the species, provide a confidence score, and offer detailed information about physical characteristics, growing conditions, plant information, and uses.
The AI provides a reasonable estimate based on visual analysis, but results may vary depending on image quality, lighting, and seed positioning. The tool provides a confidence score to indicate how certain the AI is about its identification. For rare seeds or unusual angles, accuracy may be reduced.
Our AI can recognize thousands of common seed species from various plant families. However, it may have difficulty with very rare seeds, hybrid varieties, or seeds with minimal distinguishing features. The clearer the image and the more distinctive the seed characteristics, the better the results.
For best results, take clear, well-lit photos that show the seed's distinctive features. Try to capture the seed without blurring and from an angle that highlights its key characteristics like size, shape, texture, and color patterns. Including multiple seeds or different angles can also improve accuracy.
Absolutely! The AI Seed Identifier provides detailed information about growing conditions, germination requirements, plant care, and uses. This can be valuable for gardeners, farmers, botanists, students, or anyone interested in learning more about plants and their cultivation.
