Many fruits are the by-product of the mating of flowers, and most of them have seeds. (I don't know about coconuts though..)

But what about vegetables? Many of the vegetables that I know and love do not seem to have any seeds, so what is actually planted for such vegetables as peas, carrots, corn, and potatos?

Where do these seeds come from?

Peas and Corn are the seeds, carrots *do* produce seeds and are grown from them. You can buy carrot seeds in any garden store.

Potatoes do not reproduce well from seed, though it can happen. The are better to plant from cutting up a potatoe so that each chunk has an eye on it which is where the fertile cells are that will grow into a stem and roots.

well, peas and corn these are the seeds that we're eating but about carrots and potatos, they are seedless plant,they reproduce vegetativey by propagules and i.e through tubers.And so, their sexual reprodution are abortive i.e they do not form seed.
