🌱 How do seeds grow into plants?

🌱 Seeds are like tiny baby plants sleeping in a cozy shell! When they get water, sunlight, and warm soil, they wake up and start growing. First, a little root comes out to drink water, then a tiny stem pushes up to reach the sun. Soon, leaves pop out to make food from sunlight! 🌞

It's like magic—but it's science! Every seed has everything it needs to become a big, beautiful plant. 🌿

🌱 Seeds are like tiny plant kits! Inside every seed is a baby plant (called an embryo), stored food, and a protective coat. When the seed gets water, it swells and cracks open. The root grows first to anchor the plant and absorb water. Then, the shoot pushes up toward the light.

Leaves unfold and use sunlight to make food through photosynthesis. 🌞✨ Over time, the plant grows taller and stronger, maybe even making flowers or fruit!

🌱 Seeds grow through a process called germination. Here's how it works:

1. Water absorption: The seed soaks up water, activating enzymes that break down stored food (like starch) into energy.
2. Root emergence: The radicle (first root) grows downward to anchor the plant and absorb nutrients.
3. Shoot growth: The hypocotyl (stem) pushes upward, guided by light (phototropism).
4. Leaf development: Cotyledons (seed leaves) or true leaves emerge, starting photosynthesis.

Plants need oxygen, water, warmth, and sometimes light (depending on the species) to germinate. 🌞🌧️
