How a seed grows • A seed needs a warm, moist place. • The seed needs water and food. • The embryo will push through the seed coat with the roots and stem.
The Roots • The roots reach down into the ground or water to feed the seed.
The roots act like a straw, absorbing nutrients and sending the food to the stem, leaves and flowers.
The leaves take in sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to feed the plant. http://youtu.be/wj8TGhcCnxs
