When a seed start to grow is called?
Germination is the process by which an organism grows from a seed or spore.
What happens when a seed begins to grow?
When seeds are planted, they first grow roots. Once these roots take hold, a small plant will begin to emerge and eventually break through the soil. When this happens, we say that the seed has sprouted. The scientific name for this process is germination.
What are the 3 stages of a seed?
The three stages of seed germination are:
- Imbibition: the seed intakes water, swells, and extends its first root (radicle)
- Dormancy: the seed digests the nutrition inside of it and sprouts.
- Growth: the seed grows exponentially into adulthood.
What are the stages of a seed?
Different sources will say different things, but they generally fall under these four stages: seed, germination, growth, and harvest.
- The seed stage doesn’t need to be explained in detail.
- The germination stage is where the plant grows from the seed.
What happens after germination?
Seed Life Cycle: Germination Once germination occurs, the new plant will gradually begin to emerge. The root, which anchors the plant to the soil, grows downward. This also enables the plant to take up the water and nutrients required for growth. The shoot then grows upward as it reaches for the light.
What is an antonym for germinate?
germinate. Antonyms: rot, decay. Synonyms: sprout, shoot, bud, vegetate.
What do I do after my seeds sprout?
Fill the containers and pack the soil firmly to eliminate gaps. Remember that most mixes contain few, if any, nutrients, so you’ll need to feed the seedlings with liquid fertilizer a few weeks after they germinate, and continue until you transplant them into the garden.
What happens seedling stage?
A seedling is a young sporophyte developing out of a plant embryo from a seed. Seedling development starts with germination of the seed. A typical young seedling consists of three main parts: the radicle (embryonic root), the hypocotyl (embryonic shoot), and the cotyledons (seed leaves). This is epigeal germination.
What are the 4 stages of plant growth?
The plant life cycle consists of four stages; seed, sprout, small plant, and adult plant. When the seed gets planted into the soil with water and sun, then it will start to grow into a small sprout.
What is the next stage after seedling?
The stages that plants go through are from seed to sprout, then through vegetative, budding, flowering, and ripening stages.

What comes after a seedling?
The stages that plants go through are from seed to sprout, then through vegetative, budding, flowering, and ripening stages. Similarly, the nutritional needs of people and plants change as they grow.
