Germination of a seed II

Linus is showing off his seeds which he can't wait for them to germinate. First, the roots will grow so that the young seedling can get water from the soil. Next, the shoot will grow from the seed. As the young seedling is not able to make food yet, it gets its food from the seed leaves. As the seedling grows bigger and starts to make food on its own, the seed leaves will shrivel and drop off. Isn't nature clever ?
