How Can a Tiny Seed Grow into a Towering Tree?

Imagine a seed is like a tiny sleeping baby inside a blanket. When it gets enough water and sun, the baby wakes up and starts to grow, first with little roots underground, then with a stem that pushes through the soil, and finally leaves that reach toward the sky. The more sunlight and water the plant gets, the taller and stronger it becomes.
