 Don't you know that you must sow something that that seed dies before something else comes to life? The death of one thing is necessary in order to produce the life of another thing. Now in the planting of a seed, the seed must be put into the ground and the seed dies. And when it dies, it produces life. A seed of corn, a seed of grass, a seed of plant disintegrates. It becomes a plant and the stalk comes up out of there. It doesn't look anything like what went in the ground initially.
