How Can a Single Seed Grow into a Tree?

A single seed can grow into a tree because it has everything it needs inside of it, like food, instructions for growing, and even a special part called the root. When you plant a seed in soil and give it water and sunlight, it starts to grow and becomes bigger over time.

The Seed Inside

Inside a seed are tiny parts that help it grow: some parts tell the seed when to wake up, and others act like food for the new plant. This is why even one seed can become a big tree, it just needs the right conditions to grow.
