Step-by-step explanation:

The Seed Germination Process

Step 1: Imbibition: water fills the seed.

Step 2: The water activates enzymes that begin the plant's growth.

Step 3: The seed grows a root to access water underground.

Step 4: The seed grows shoots that grow towards the sun.

Step 5: The shoots grow leaves and begin photmorphogenesis.
