Obviously, some flowers got pollinated and some did not. Now, we can see how well the pollination worked. Embryogenesis literally means to create swelling, and some pistils have swollen and some have not. The creation of the embryo is hidden, but it swells the pod and we can see that. The embryo is the part of a seed that grows into a new plant, and is made of a tiny root, stem, leaves, and food. The embryo has an umbilical cord that provides nourishment from the plant. These parts can also be seen in the food beans that we eat. Split open a pea pod to see an umbilical cord, and split open a peanut embryo to see the other parts. The Fast Plant is now busy growing seeds inside the pods.
