If I swallow an orange seed would an orange tree start growing in my tummy?
Because the food I've eaten would be the soil, when I drink water it would water the seed, and when I open my mouth outside, it would get sunlight. What do you think of this? Could it happen?

no. There is acid in your stomach. Plus the food has different nurtients than actual soil. Also the seed would pass through you before it has time to grow roots and plant itself.

obviously a tree ought to strengthen, what did you imagine ought to strengthen a plant. in the beginning it is going to easily rather influence you, yet after many years the tree would initiate to weigh you down and also you would probable should be in a impartial position on the floor, I call it "companies". the merely available remedy you'll have is trimming the tree as you ought to do with a classic tree. once you're buried you'll maximum probable have an orange tree growing to be above you and optimistically at your funeral there'll be a lot of oranges to pass round. imagine of the brilliant facet. Who is conscious what you ought to do; promote them, devour them....

NO.
When I was a kid it was grape seeds that my mom said would grow in my tummy.
What could ACTUALLY happen is that the sharp edge of the orange seed could scrape up the lining of your intestines, leading to infection. It is almost as bad as swallowing bone.
But one thing intrigues me following your scenario....where would the roots end up/grow???? And how would you harvest the fruit?

the acid in your stomach would kill the seed and stop it from germinating and it couldn't grow since there is no light
