Phase One: Planting the Seed
When a seed starts to grow, we say it germinates. The cotyledons store food for the baby plant inside the seed. When the seed starts to germinate, the first thing to grow is the main root. The seed's growing conditions usually need to be damp, warm, and dark, like springtime soil. A dry seed will stay dormant until it soaks in some water, then it will start to germinate.
