A seed will start growing as soon as it has sunlight, water, oxygen, and warmth. When these conditions are met it will start transforming from a seed into a tree.As a seed grows it will start growing out of the ground. This is called a sprout. The sprout is growing up out of the ground while the roots are searching for ground water and are spreading out underground.  A seedling needs extreme conditions to survive. The roots will spread out in the ground and the stem will grow up into the sky towards the sunlight. As it grows it will need constant water to survive. Once a tree has reached its adulthood it will produce blooms and through pollination seeds will transform into new trees. This process will continue on as long as we have trees and bees.
