Solution

  • It can start germination after the seed has reached a fresh place and is covered with dirt.
  • Germination is the seed method that develops into fresh crops.
  • First, the seed must be triggered by environmental circumstances. This is usually determined by the depth of the seed, the availability of water, and the temperature. When water is abundant, in a method called imbibition, the seed fills with water. The water activates special proteins, called enzymes, that begin the process of seed growth.
  • First, the seed develops a root for subterranean access to water. Next, the shoots start to appear, or growth above ground.
  • The seed sends a shoot to the ground where leaves will develop to harvest the sun's energy. In a process called photomorphogenesis, the leaves continue to grow towards the light source.
