=How Plants Grow =

Plants and trees are a wonderful and interesting subject. When we think about how plants grow, most of us just envision dropping a seed in the ground or dirt and giving it some water, but we really aren't sure what is going on in there. Did you know plant seeds are like an egg? Inside the egg is a plant embryo or baby plant. When we put the seed in the ground and give it water and sunlight, it creates the perfect environment for that "baby plant" to be "born". That process is called [|germination]. Once the plant germinates, the roots begin to grow and go to work using the nutrients and gathering water from the soil and helping the seedling to grow.

 Once the seed begins to germinate, the plants or trees roots will begin to grow. As long as the plant or tree has nutritious soil, plenty of water and sunlight, the plant will thrive.
