Plants grow from seeds - which are very small, in many cases. As they blow through the air and tumble along the ground, seeds will often get "caught" in something - a crack, for example. If there is any soil in the crack (there usually is) and any moisture (the crack holds moisture) the seed will sprout and grow.
