Question

What is germination?

Answer 1

Germination is the process by which an organism grows from a seed or similar structure. The most common example of germination is the sprouting of a seedlingfrom a seed of an angiosperm or gymnosperm. In addition, the growth of a sporeling from a spore, such as the spores of hyphae from fungal spores, is also germination. Thus, in a general sense, germination can be thought of as anything expanding into greater being from a small existence or germ.

Most seeds do not need sunlight to germinate but some seeds such as sunflower seeds, mustard seeds and blosnian seeds need sunlight to successfully germinate. Experiments were carried out to prove this.^{[citation needed]y}
