germination
Seed becomes plant
Germination is the process by which a seed begins to sprout and grow into a new plant.
It starts when a dormant seed absorbs water and ends when the first shoot or root emerges.
The term extends to any beginning stage of development or growth: the germination of an idea.
Conditions like temperature, moisture, and light affect whether and how quickly germination occurs.
