Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Germination of seed is the process through which a plant grows from a seed. Germination contains several stages, but it is characterized by the emergence of first root (radicle) from the seed. The embryo utilizes the food reserved in the seed and grows to form a living organism (plant).
