There are several reasons why your seedling may be growing slowly. Some common reasons include inadequate light, improper watering, poor soil quality, or incorrect temperature. It's important to make sure your seedling is getting the right amount of light, water, nutrients, and warmth to help it grow properly.
Promotion of slow but steady growth and protection from soluble salts are reasons why seedling compost is good for growing seeds. Fertilizers can emphasize lush above-ground parts to the detriment of below-ground roots and seeds. Seedling compost tends to provide seeds and seedlings protection from the soluble salts in such necessary nutrients as calcium and magnesium compounds.
An embryo plant whose root and stem have started growing is called a seedling.
It is called the seedling.
SEEDLING
A young plant growing from a seed is called a seedling. Seedlings typically have their first set of true leaves and are beginning to establish roots.
The food needed for a seedling to start growing comes from the seed itself. Inside the seed, there are stored nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats that provide energy and nutrients for the seedling to germinate and begin growing until it can photosynthesize on its own.
A bean seedling kept in dark develops chlorosis and its leaves become yellow.
The contents of a seed are used up after germination by the seedling growing from it.

The Yew. Taxus baccatta is a fairly slow growing tree.
The plant seedling is exhibiting positive phototropism by growing towards the window where it can receive more light for photosynthesis. Additionally, the roots are demonstrating positive gravitropism by growing into the soil to anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients.
After the seedling stage, the plant typically enters the vegetative growth stage. During this period, the plant focuses on growing larger and developing more leaves and branches to support its overall growth.
