Seed Germination Illustration - Visual Guide to Plant Growth Stages #3458815 (License: Personal Use)

This high-resolution illustration shows a bean-like seed in active germination: the radicle extends downward as fine orange-brown roots, while the hypocotyl arches upward in a graceful curve, carrying two bright green cotyledons that unfurl at the tip. The glossy brown seed coat remains partially attached, emphasizing the transition from dormancy to growth. Lighting and shading give the image a realistic 3D appearance on a transparent checkerboard background.
