Root and shoot growth

An introduction to seed germination and growth. The presenter explains how a seed takes in water and swells when it is planted. With the help of time-lapse photography, we see how a seed grows. First we see the roots growing down to find water, anchoring the plant. Then we see how the shoots grow upwards to find light. More time-lapse photography is used to show plants growing and flowering.
