Life cycle of a plant

Dormant seed:

The dormant seed takes in water and the seed coat gets soft.

Germinating seed:

First a root pushes through the seed coat and grows downward.

Germinating Seed 2: The top part of the root grows upward and becomes the stem. The stem carries the seed coat and the seed leaves with it.

Seedling: When the stored food in the seed leaves is used up, they dry up and drop off. More leaves grow from the buds of the stem as the plant grows taller.
