That is a great question and was fun to research you can see a picture of the plant at wikipedia.com but I found a real interesting story that sesame has been around since Egyptians time and it seems everyone uses them. Another source is www.dipasa.nl/storypag.htm which tells a longer tale.

You know THAT is a really good question! I love sesame, and yet I have no idea what plant it is a seed for. Is there really a sesame tree, or fruit??? I guess I'll have to search the internet now. Does bird seed grow birds???

Assuming you mean 'sesame';
Sesame (Sesamum indicum) is a flowering plant in the genus Sesamum. The precise natural origin of the species is unknown, although its closest relatives occur in Africa. It is widely naturalised in tropical regions around the world and is cultivated for its edible seeds.
It is an annual plant growing to 50-100 cm tall, with opposite leaves 4-14 cm long with an entire margin; they are broad lanceolate, to 5 cm broad, at the base of the plant, narrowing to just 1 cm broad on the flowering stem. The flowers are white to purple, tubular, 3-5 cm long, with a four-lobed mouth.
Sesame is grown primarily for its oil-rich seeds, which come in a variety of colors. The small, cream-white sesame seed is used whole in cooking for its rich nutty flavour (although such heating damages their health-giving poly-unsaturated fats), and also yields a cooking oil. Sesame seeds are sometimes added to breads, including bagels and the top of hamburger buns. Sesame seeds are baked into crackers, often in the form of sticks.
