Germination Explained


      Germination is the process in which the plant starts to grow out of the cell and begins to grow. To start this process, the plant needs to go through imbibition which is when the water starts to soften the hard protective shell of the seed. Then the plant is able to swell up and split the seed open so it can begin growing and get water to the embryo.
