Germination

In a botanical sense, germination is the process of emergence of growth from a resting stage. We typically think of the sprouting of a seedling from a seed of a flowering plant or gymnosperm. However, the growth of a hypha from a fungal spore is also germination. In a more general sense, germination can imply anything expanding into greater being from a small existence or germ.
