Trees

 Growing Trees

Trees, like most other plants, grow from seeds. Not many seeds grow into mature trees. Some seeds get digested inside animals' bodies after being eaten, and never reach the ground. Other seeds land in places where they cannot grow. If a seed lands in a place with good soil, sunlight, and water, it may start sprouting into a plant. When a seed begins to grow into a plant it is called germination.

First a small root develops. Then a stem begins to grow. After the stem starts growing, the seedcase falls off.

The seed leaves are the plant's first leaves. While the food in these leaves nourishes the plant, the first true leaves form. Those leaves begin to make sugar for the plant to use as food. When conditions permit, the seedling may eventually grow into a tree.
