Detailed explanation-1: -germination, the sprouting of a seed, spore, or other reproductive body, usually after a period of dormancy. The absorption of water, the passage of time, chilling, warming, oxygen availability, and light exposure may all operate in initiating the process.

Detailed explanation-2: -When a dry seed comes into contact with moist soil or growing media, the seed begins to take up water through the seed coat. As it takes up more water, the seed expands and the seed coat cracks open. The embryo inside the seed is made up of a small shoot and a small root. The root is the first to emerge from the seed.

Detailed explanation-3: -Germination is the process of seeds developing into new plants. First, environmental conditions must trigger the seed to grow. Usually, this is determined by how deep the seed is planted, water availability, and temperature.

Detailed explanation-4: -The process of the growth of a plant (in this case, the seedling) from the seed is called germination. Seeds germinate in the presence of suitable environmental conditions. They require air, water, soil, and sunlight for germination. If a seed is sowed too deep in the soil, it will not germinate.

Detailed explanation-5: -Germination is a stage where the plant grows from a seed. All seeds need moisture, oxygen and right temperature to germinate, or grow. When the seeds start to grow their own roots, stems, and leaves, they are often called sprouts.
