Seed Germination

The document outlines the stages of seed germination, detailing the process from moisture absorption to the development of a young plant. It describes four main stages: the seed absorbing moisture and developing an embryo, the root growing downwards, the appearance of shoots and formation of seedlings, and finally, the development of leaves allowing the plant to make its own food. The seed leaves initially provide nourishment but eventually diminish as the plant matures.
