Garlic clove germination experiment. Image 1 of 3. The clove of garlic (Allium sativum) has been impaled on a pin and suspended with its root tip in a test tube of water. Left exposed to air and light, and at a suitable range of temperatures, the clove (which is the seed of the plant) will germinate and grow the roots and leaf shoots of a new garlic plant. The stages of the germination and growth process can be seen in images B787/634 to B787/636.
