The first stage of growth is germination, a method which first becomes apparent as a seed's radicle emerges. This is the first stage of root growth and occurs within the first 48 hours under ideal growing conditions. The first photosynthetic structures, the cotyledons, develop from the hypocotyl, the first plant structure to emerge from the soil. These cotyledons both act as leaves and as a source of nutrients for the immature plant, providing the seedling nutrition for its first 7 to 10 days.
Soybean seeds are harvested from mature pods of the soybean plant which belongs to the family Fabacee. Though it is a species of legumes, the crop is classified as an oil seed because of its high oil content. Soybean is also known as a good source of low-cost protein.
