How a Seed Germinates: Illustration of Early Plant Growth #3085841 (License: Personal Use)

This minimalist black-and-white illustration depicts the early stage of plant germination, where a seed has sprouted and sent down primary roots while pushing a hypocotyl upward. The emerging shoot displays two cotyledons and a spiraling apical hook, characteristic of dicot seedlings adapting to light exposure. Small oval shapes in the soil suggest surrounding seeds or soil particles.
