2. Water • Food stored in the seed leaves help the seed to
grow.• As the seed grows, water is needed to break the
seed coat.• The root helps to anchor the seed and absorb
minerals and water from the soil.• Give the optimum amount of water. (Too much water can cause the root to rot and too little water
limits the seed’s growth.)
