Sunflower Seeds?

I know this is a kinda stupid question, but i've always wondered if sunflower seeds come from the actual sunflower, or do the sunflower seeds come first.
so what comes first the sunflower or the seed (with shell)?
and where do they come from?

Thank you.

Sunflower seeds grow in the eye of the flower - like the center of a daisy. The petals on a sunflower are usually not but three or four inches long (and yellow), but the center where the seeds grow can be as large or larger than a dinner plate. You could plant the raw seeds and get a sunflower. Of course, the ones we eat are roasted. Raw seeds don't taste good.
