Very simply, once a plant has flowered and the flower has been pollinated, it develops one or more seeds which contain a miniature new plant surrounded by a store of food to help the new plant grow until it can make its own food.
These seeds dry and get scattered and lie around in a dormant state until the conditions are good for the new plant to grow (this may be a warming of the soil in spring or in dry areas the arrival of rain). When this happens the new miniature plant begins to grow and the food store is converted to sugar to feed the new plant. A root then grows out of the seed and goes into the soil while a little later one or two seed leaves will appear above ground to catch the sun. This process is called germination and a germinated seed is one that is producing a root and seed leaves.
To germinate is to begin life, as in "the tomato seed germinated and grew into a tomato plant."
The plant is classed as a biannual (flowering in the second year).
The seed coat has busted and the seedling is beginning to emerge
The oldest carbon-14 dated seed that has been germinated and grown is around 32,000 years old. The seed was from a fossil fruit found in northeastern Siberia and was successfully grown into a healthy plant in a laboratory setting. This discovery provides insights into ancient plant species and their ability to survive long periods of dormancy.
Light is only necessary for plants once they have germinated because they require energy from sunlight to undergo photosynthesis, which is the process that allows plants to convert light energy into the nutrients they need to grow and develop. Before germination, the seed relies on stored energy for initial growth.
foe a dormant seed it is almost negligible and for a germinated seed it is more.
To germinate is to begin life, as in "the tomato seed germinated and grew into a tomato plant."
A young plant growing in the seed is called the embryo. After some days the shoot bursts up from the seed and comes out of the ground. Underneath, the roots come out to transfer water.
Germinated.
You can determine if a seed has germinated by looking for signs such as the emergence of a root or shoot from the seed, changes in color or texture of the seed coat, and the presence of new growth or development.
The plant is classed as a biannual (flowering in the second year).

A plant which can not yet reproduce successfully.

a germinated seed will run to maturity from 30 days for radishesto 120 days for some variety of tomatoes and even longer for pumkins
Your germinated seed may not be sprouting due to factors such as inadequate moisture, improper temperature, insufficient light, or poor soil quality. Check these conditions and make adjustments to help your seed sprout successfully.
