Embryo
An immature organism in the early stages of development. In mammals, this occurs in the first months in the uterus. In plants, it is the structure that develops in the megagametophyte, as result of the fertilisation of an egg cell, or without fertilization. In aseptic cultures, adventitious embryos show polarization, followed by the growth of a shoot from one end and a root from the other end.
