The video explains the process of seed germination, starting with the seed's embryo and the conditions needed for growth, such as moisture, warmth, nutrient-rich soil, sunlight, and good quality seeds. It describes how the seed absorbs water, activates enzymes, and begins cell duplication, leading to the emergence of a root. The process of germination continues with the seed coat falling off, allowing the root to grow downward and the shoot to grow upward, eventually resulting in a baby plant capable of photosynthesis.
