Dormancy Development from the seed
 Most seeds germinate underground where there is no sunlight. The plant does not need the nutrients in soil for a few days or weeks, because the seed has all the things it needs to grow. Later, though, it will begin to need sunlight. If there is sunlight, the plant will use it to grow healthy. If the plant does not get enough light, it will eventually die. It needs light to make food for itself when the reserve in the seed runs out.
