5th EVS NCERT Chapter 5

The seed contains the embryo of the plant along with stored food for germination and initial growth.

A big plant grows from a tiny seed through the process of germination, where the seed absorbs water, swells, and the embryo inside starts growing and developing into a seedling.

Students can refer to their observations to determine which seeds took the most number of days for the stem to emerge from the soil.

Plants deprived of water will wilt, dry up, and eventually die due to the lack of water essential for various physiological processes such as photosynthesis and nutrient transport.

The duration for a plant to emerge from the soil varies depending on the type of seed and environmental conditions, typically ranging from a few days to a couple of weeks.
