Vegetable seeds are the small, often hard structures that can grow into new plants. They contain the genetic material and nutrients needed for the plant's initial growth. Different types of vegetable seeds come from various plants, such as carrots, tomatoes, and lettuce, each requiring specific conditions for germination and growth. When planted in soil, vegetable seeds absorb water and nutrients, triggering the germination process. This leads to the development of roots, stems, and leaves. Proper care, including sunlight and watering, is essential for healthy growth, allowing the plants to produce edible vegetables for consumption.
