What Is Germination? Definition, Process & Visual Guide #118293 (License: Personal Use)

This educational illustration depicts germination-the biological process where a seed absorbs water, swells, breaks dormancy, and begins growing roots downward and a shoot upward. The image shows two stages: a seed just sprouting and a more developed seedling with leaves, roots, and a stem, all under the care of a smiling gardener with a watering can. Soil layers and root structures are clearly labeled for clarity.

Used in elementary science curricula, gardening blogs, or educational websites to explain plant life cycles; targets teachers, students, and beginner gardeners seeking visual reinforcement of germination concepts.
