1. A seed is an ovule containing an embryo while a grain is a fusion of the seed coat and the fruit. 2. Typically, seeds are planted to grow plants while grains are harvested for food. 3. Grains provide food from the fruit part while seeds mainly provide food from embryo parts. Grains provide food mainly from the fruit part, for instance, food from wheat grain is derived from the ground fruit, which is a part of the grain.
