Answer:
Seed germination starts with imbibition, when the seed takes in water from the soil. This triggers root growth to allow the seed to get more water. Then, the shoots develop and grow towards the sun above ground. After the shoots reach the ground, leaves form, allowing the plant to harvest energy from the sun.

Answer:
The first stage of germination, called imbibition, occurs when the seed is exposed to water. The seed absorbs water though its seed coat. As this happens, the seed coat softens.
The first stage of germination, called imbibition, occurs when the seed is exposed to water. The seed absorbs water though its seed coat. As this happens, the seed coat softens.Next, water triggers the seed to begin converting starch to sugar. This provides energy for the embryo during germination.
More water is then absorbed and the seed’s cells start to elongate and divide. The radicle, or primary root, is usually the first part of embryo to break through the seed coat. It grows downwards to anchor the seed in place and absorb water and nutrients from the soil.

Monocot and dicotseeds are structurally different, which affects how they germinate.

The seed tissue will diminish as the plant’s roots, stems, and leaves develop.
