How Do Seeds Grow into Plants? Discover the Fascinating Process!

🌱Seeds have three main parts: the outer shell or seed coat, the embryo or baby plant, and the endosperm which provides food for the growing plant.

💧Seeds need water, the right temperature, and light to start growing.

🌞Once a seed has water, temperature, and light, the embryo begins to grow in a process called germination.

🌿The root grows downwards into the soil, while the shoot grows upwards towards the sunlight.

🌼With enough water, sunlight, and the right temperature, the young plant continues to grow and eventually produces its own seeds.
