What is the first step in the process of plant growth?

• A. Seed fermentation
• B. Seed desiccation
• C. Seed germination
• D. Seed dormancy

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Seed germination

• The first step in the process of plant growth is seed germination.

• The seed germinates when favourable conditions are available like the presence of oxygen, water and certain enzymes.

• If these conditions are not available, then a seed may suspend its activities and will germinate only when these conditions become available.
