True! However, the seed that became the tree is very low entropy. One of my favorite marvels about life is how it is an unbroken chain that goes back 4 billion years (with countless branching, truncated ends, of course). Also, many seeds didn't make it, so there is a bit of survivor bias looking at the one seed that did become a tree.
