The baby plant in the seed uses the food stored in the seed only when it starts growing?

No, actually, the embryo is using a small amount of stored reserve even when the seed is dry, dormant and sitting in a packet on the shelf. That's part of the reason why dry seeds eventually die if they're kept long enough.
But you're right.. when the seed begins to germinate, then the increase in metabolism over what it was in the dry state is huge.
