Which seed did not grow at all?

if proper water and air had not been provided

What are the 5 points of germination?

  • Step 1: Imbibition: water fills the seed.
  • Step 2: The water activates enzymes that begin the plant's growth.
  • Step 3: The seed grows a root to access water underground.
  • Step 4: The seed grows shoots that grow towards the sun.
