NUTRITION IN PLANTS

• A seed consists of an embryo or the baby plant and cotyledon that stores food for the growth of the embryo.
• The food in cotyledon lasts for about two weeks till it reaches sunlight.
• A Seed has a small hole in it to absorb water for the growth of the embryo.
• When a seed starts to germinate, it first develops the shoot and root system known as plumule and radicle respectively.

• With the initial root develops it penetrates into the soil and starts absorbing essential nutrients from the soil.
