Forgot to point out a cool feature that you can see on the above image of the roots emerging from the shell. Some plants like pumpkins form a little "foot" on the root/stem as it is just emerging from the shell, and this foot actually pushes against the shell and helps the plant wiggle it's way out of the splitting shell. See the little foot in the pic? It's pushing against what was the edge of the upper shell tip. It is very evident to see in the second image above when the shell was removed. Pretty cool.
