Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Seed germination is defined as the sum of events that begin with hydration of the seed and culminate in emergence of the embryonic axis (usually the radicle) from the seed coat.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Germination of a Seed: On absorbing adequate water, the seed swells up, leading to the seed coat’s bursting. It gives rise to a baby plant called seedling. The embryo receives nourishment from the cotyledon till the root system is developed. The radicle grows into the root system.

Detailed explanation-4: -The process by which the seed develops into the seedling is called germination. During this process, the embryo gets developed into a seedling. This seedling gradually grows into a new plant.

Detailed explanation-5: -The process by which a dormant embryo becomes active, grows out of the seed coat and develops into a seedling is called seed germination. The embryo uses the water from outside and the food stored from the cotyledons or endosperm to grow.
