What are the stages of seed germination?

Seed germination is the process by which a plant emerges from its seed and begins to grow. There are several stages involved in seed germination. First, the seed takes in water through its outer layer, causing it to swell and break open. This allows the embryo within the seed to start to grow, sending out a root to anchor itself in the soil and a shoot to reach for the sun. The shoot then forms leaves and the plant begins to photosynthesize, fueling its growth. As the plant grows, it continues to develop new leaves and a stronger root system until it reaches maturity.
