The document discusses the parts of a seed and the process of germination. It lists the seed coat, cotyledon, and embryo as key parts of a seed. It also outlines the stages of germination, including when the cotyledons begin photosynthesis, wither and die as the young plant can now produce its own food, and when the plant emerges above ground. An illustration shows the seed germinating and growing into a young plant.
