| Heirloom plants are open-pollinated varieties grown during earlier periods in agricultural history. A plant variety should be originated before 1950 to be considered a heirloom. Some old types of vegetables have been kept alive within communities by succeeding generations of seed savers. |
| Seed are embryonic plants enclosed in a covering, the seed coat, usually with some stored nutritions. A seed is the product of the ripened ovule of seed plants (gymnosperms and angiosperms) which occurs after fertilization within the motherplant. More primitive plants like mosses and ferns do not have seeds and use other means to propagate themselves like spores. Seed also has a meaning of anything that can be sown - seeds or roots like "seed" potatoes.
