A seed does NOT always develop its roots first.

The sprout that first emerges from a seed is actually the part that will develop above ground if the seed is planted in the ground. The root develops once this sprout begins to shed its seed casing.

From what structure do roots develop in a seed?

Roots develop from the radicle, which is the embryonic root within a seed. The radicle is the first part of the seedling to emerge during germination, and it gives rise to the primary root system of the plant.


Which one is not part of a seed?

Roots are not part of a seed. Seeds typically consist of the embryo, endosperm, and seed coat. Roots develop after germination when the seedling starts to grow.

What develops first on a plant?

The roots typically develop first on a plant, as they are responsible for absorbing nutrients and water from the soil. This is followed by the shoot, which includes the stem and leaves that grow above the ground.


What is the trail for germenation?

The process of germination begins when a seed takes in water, causing it to swell and activate metabolic processes. This leads to the seed coat breaking open, allowing the radicle to emerge first, followed by the shoot. The seedling then establishes roots to absorb nutrients and acquire sunlight for photosynthesis.


Why does a seed need roots?

Seeds need roots because the soil sucks the water and the roots take it A seed does not need roots until it germinates and then as it has become a seedling it requires roots to survive.


Does the seed come first or seedling?

Actually , believe it or not, flower actually comes first and then the seedling then fruit then the fruit poops out the seed and the seed comes out as brown liquid and transforms into a seed. Then, the seed pops out hands and legs and digs itself into the soil it thens hibernate inside for a century then within 1 sec, it pops into a green and brown thing humans call TREE. And then, your complete!


Why does the mass of seed leaves increase?

Presumably you are talking about epigeal development, where the cotyledons grow out from the seed. At first they absorb water, and food from the adjacent parts of the seed, then when they are above ground, many of them photosynthesise.
