in stamen
The sperm of seed plants form inside the pollen tube, a structure that develops from the pollen grain. The pollen tube grows towards the ovule to deliver the sperm cells for fertilization.
eggs and sperm
Sperm cells in seed plants are typically formed within the pollen grains, which are produced in the male reproductive structures of the plant (anther). When the pollen grain reaches the female reproductive structure (ovule) of the plant, the sperm cells are released and fertilization occurs.
sperm
No, not all seed plants have sperm carried by wind-borne pollen. Some seed plants rely on other means of pollination, such as animals like insects or birds, to transport pollen.

pollen
Fertilization in most seed plants does not require swimming sperm, as they are transported within pollen grains and delivered directly to the plant ovule for fertilization to occur. This eliminates the need for water as a medium for fertilization, unlike in non-seed plants or aquatic plants where swimming sperm are necessary to reach the egg.
because of the egg cell
In plants, fertilization occurs when one sperm cell from a pollen grain fuses with an egg cell to form a seed. Therefore, only one sperm cell is needed to fertilize one egg cell and produce a seed.

By swimming in watery fluid through the neck of archegonium the sperm reaches to the egg in seedless plants.
