How a seed becomes a plant

A seed starts off dormant and won't grow straight away, it kind of has a power so it can sense what time it should start to grow.
 
The seed has 3 main parts.

Which are called the seed coat, the endosperm and the embryo. The embryo is the baby plant inside the seed and the endosperm is the food inside the seed that the baby plant uses to grow before it can produce food of its own.  
To grow the plant needs water, the right temperature and light. The plants growing process is called germination. 




The first thing that comes out of the plant is the roots which always grow down. The plant can somehow figure out which way is up and which way is down. The roots find food until the plant grows a stem.


Then out of the plant comes the stem which grows leaves. The leaves turn sunlight into food.
