germination
Significado: The process by which a seed develops into a new plant, beginning with the emergence of the root and shoot.
Germination requires specific conditions — typically water, warmth, and oxygen — and begins when a dormant seed absorbs water and swells. The word is also used figuratively for the early development of ideas, plans, or movements. It collocates with 'seed,' 'rate,' 'conditions,' and 'process.' In horticulture and agriculture, understanding germination is essential for successful planting.
