The table below presents an aligned extract of verses or verselets
in
Gn01-11c
Both verses/verselets
discuss
the creation of plant life by God.
The alignment justifies the Rashi comment that:
The plants were created with germinating seeds which
could be carried by the wind and seed new plants at a distance.
Rashi infers this by comparing the two words connoting grass:
a) verdure vs. b) grass, seeding seeds.

Rashi comment

And G-d said: 'Let the earth 0put forth
- grass,
- herb with seeding seed,
- and fruit-tree bearing fruit after its kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth.' And it was so.

Advanced Rashi:
There are two points two Rashi:
- First, Rashi notes the extra aligned phrase, seeding seed
which emphasizes that plants were created with reproductive capacity (via their
seeds)
- Second, Rashi notes the repetition, seeding seeds which he interprets
as emphasizing that even though plants do not have their own locomotion their seeds
work anyplace and e.g. can travel through the air and seed elsewhere. Here Rashi uses
rule #7, formatting.
