Question

Describe the process of germination?

Answer 1

the development of plant from seed is known as germination

Answer 2

In a dry seed the embryo is inactive or is in a state of dormancy.The dry seed consumes oxygen and give out carbon dioxide,both in extremely minute quantities,and they release some heat as well.when placed under proper conditions the dormant embryo awakens,i.e.it becomes active and starts growing into a seedling.All the changes leading to the formation of a seedling are collectively called germination.

Germination is the process of formation of a seedling developed from the embryo.
