Solution:

Concept:Germination:The essential procedure by which diverse plants emerge from a single seed into a plant is known as seed germination.Both crop productivity and quality are affected by this process.The sprouting of a seedling from an angiosperm or gymnosperm seed is a common example of seed germination.Explanation:Step of the germination:First stepGermination needs the presence of water.Most seeds only require adequate water to moisten them, not to soak them.Imbibition is the process of seeds absorbing water, which causes the seed coat to enlarge and rupture.Second step:It is one of the most essential stages of germination when the seed begins to take water from the ground.The radicle emerges to form a primary root.The activated enzymes are the ones who start the process.The root grows downwards.Third step:?Most plants retain food storage with their seeds.Such as carbohydrates, proteins, or oils.The growing embryo receives nutrients from this food store.Hydrolytic enzymes are activated when the seed absorbs water.These stored food resources are broken down into metabolically usable molecules.Fourth stage:?During the stage, by rupturing the seed covering, the plumule produces a sprout.The shoot rises upwards towards the soil's surface.Fifth stage:?The cotyledons spread out and unfold.It leads to the development of the first leaves.After that, the plant is now ready to begin the photosynthesis process. Thus, the sequence of seed germination from the steps given below:(b) Seed absorbs water through a hole. This softens the seed coat and it ruptures.? (e) A small root emerges from the seed which grows downwards.? (d) During this stage, the baby plant lives on the food stored in the seed.? (c) A soft shoot emerges from the seed and grows upwards.? (a) After the leaves appear, then the young plants can make their own food. The correct sequence are (b), (e), (d), (c), (a).
