# Water enters the seed through a hole in the seed coat called the micropyle.
# Water moves into the tissues and cells by imbibition and osmosis .
# The seed swells and the seed coat bursts.
# Water activates gibberelline, the hormone needed for breaking the dormancy of the seed.
# Gibberelline activates amylase which hydrolyses starch to maltose, and maltose is then hydrolyzed by maltase into glucose.
# Glucose is mobilized (transported) to the embryo .
# The embryo absorbs glucose and uses it for respiration (oxygen is needed in this process).
# Cell division, growth and elongation occur in the embryo . The radicle starts growing downwards into a root and the plumule starts growing upwards into a shoot.
# The nutrients needed for growth are all supplied by the food stored in the cotyledons.
# As the nutrients in the cotyledons are consumed and exhausted, the first leaves start to appear and the plant starts to photosynthesize and make its own food.
# When photosynthesis starts, the seedling absorbs water and minerals from the soil, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and sunlight.
Germination begins when the pistil reaches itself
Germination begins when the seed takes in water.
Seed germination ends after establishing the seedling on its seedbed in the soil, pot or whatsoever space is provided.
They undergow seven phases. They are called first stage, second stage, third stage, fourth stage, fifth stage, six stage, seven stage, and eigth stage. They all undergow stages
The other name for the first growth phase is called the G1 phase.
Imbibition i. e. absorption of water by the living cells of the seed.
Germination.
When a seed begins to grow/sprout it is known as germination.

Imbibition
germination begins when seed tissues absorb water.
Germination is when a plant grows from a seed. It occurs between the dormancy stage of a seed and the establishment stage of the seed.
At point of germination
The germinal stage is the first stage of pregnancy. It begins at conception, when the egg and sperm join to form a zygote, or fertilized egg.
The other name for the first growth phase is called the G1 phase.
There are seven stages of plant growth. The first stage is pollination - where bees carry the pollen from one plant to another plant. The second stage is seed formation - when the seeds begin to grow, sometimes inside of a fruit like an apple, and sometimes in a flower, like a sunflower. The third stage is seed dispersal - where the seeds are spread out by animals, wind, and water. Germination is the fourth stage, the stage where the plant sprouts from the seed. The fifth stage is growth - when the plant grows from a small sprout into a bigger plant, like a tree. And then the cycle begins again.
Imbibition i. e. absorption of water by the living cells of the seed.
Plant germination begins when the seed has all the required conditions ( like optimum temperature, pH, water etc. ) before losing it's viability.
The process whereby seeds or spores sprout and begin to grow. (Princeton University)
The first stage is the alarm stage. The SECOND stage is the resistance stage. The last stage is the exhaustion stage.
