How Plants Grow

Most plants grow from seeds. Some seeds have a seed coat. A seed coat is a covering that protects the seed. Inside the seed is a tiny plant. If the seed gets water and warmth, the plant in it may start to grow. First, the roots grow down into the soil. Next, a stem grows up. Then, leaves and flowers grow. Last, the flowers make fruits that hold seeds.The seeds may grow into new plants.This process of the growth of a seed into a plant is called germination.
