Every plant starts as a tiny seed. When you put a seed in the soil, something amazing happens. First, the seed needs water and warmth. Then it begins to germinate. A small root grows down into the soil to drink water. Next, a sprout pushes up through the soil toward the light. The sprout grows bigger every day. It needs sunlight, water, and good soil. Soon the sprout becomes a plant with leaves and flowers. That little seed grew into something wonderful!
