Seeds have different shapes, sizes, and colors, but they all have the
same parts. Every seed has a tiny plant inside it that can grow into
anew plant. The seed is covered by a seed coat to protect this tiny
plant. Every seed has one seed leaf or two seed leaves to provide
food for the tiny plant as it grows.
Seeds need air, the right amount of water, and the right
temperature to start to grow, or germinate. A root grows from
the seed and the young plant, or seedling, begins to grow. The
seedling uses food stored in the seed to grow.
The seedling's stem rises out of the soil. Leaves grow from the
stem. The leaves use sunlight to make sugar that the plant uses
for food. The seedling can grow into an adult plant that has
flowers. The flowers are pollinated and new seeds form. If the
seeds germinate, they grow into new plants. Then the cycle
begins again.
