George; "one root developing and a mass of filaments descending from the seeds" This may be a water fungus, growing either coincidentally with the seeds, or in a natural association called a mycorrhizae. The mycorrhizial association benefits both the plant and the fungus, and just about every plant on earth has a fungal 'pal' it likes to live with.
