HeL As the seedling continues to grow, it will bend toward the sunlight. The seedling develops roots to absorb water, air, and nutrients. The roots spread to the upper soil. There are many things that can threaten a seedling's survival: fire, drought, flood, animals, insects, and disease can all attack the seedling. At this stage, the seedling is very vulnerable and has a chance of not surviving this stage of growth.
