Seeds Need...          Water          Soil         Sunshine  to grow!

Seeds grow and it is called Germination.  First, a radicle grows out of the seed down into the soil to get nutrition from the soil and roots form out of the radicle. Next, a stem called a plumule grows up out of the soil to become the future stalk of the plant. Finally, leaves begin to grow and the seed has become a plant! The plant can either be a monocot, one leaf, or dicot, two leaves.
