Seed germination happens when enzymes and other chemicals become active and energy is already produced to start cell division. Germination alone, also refers to the process wherein a plant grows from the seed. The seedling that sprouts from the seed is one of the basic example of seed germination. The growth of seeds are affected by some environmental factors such as the quantity of water, the temperature and the place where the seed is sown and of course the amount of sunlight that the seed gets is very important.
