SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:11

Y dijo Dios: Produzca la tierra hierba verde, hierba que haga simiente; árbol de fruto que haga fruto según su naturaleza, que su simiente esté en él sobre la tierra; y fue así.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 1:11

Verse 11. Let the earth bring forth grass-] herb--fruit-tree, &c.] In these general expressions all kinds of vegetable productions are included. Fruit-tree is not to be understood here in the restricted sense in which the term is used among us; it signifies all trees, not only those which bear fruit, which may be applied to the use of men and cattle, but also those which had the power of propagating themselves by seeds, &c. Now as God delights to manifest himself in the little as well as in the great, he has shown his consummate wisdom in every part of the vegetable creation. Who can account for, or comprehend, the structure of a single tree or plant? The roots, the stem, the woody fibres, the bark, the rind, the air-vessels, the sap-vessels, the leaves, the flowers, and the fruits, are so many mysteries. All the skill, wisdom, and power of men and angels could not produce a single grain of wheat: A serious and reflecting mind can see the grandeur of God, not only in the immense cedars on Lebanon, but also in the endlessly varied forests that appear through the microscope in the mould of cheese, stale paste, &c., &c.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 6-13 - The earth was emptiness, but by a word spoken, it became full of God' riches, and his they are still. Though the use of them is allowed to man, they are from God, and to his service and honour they must be used. The earth, at his command, brings forth grass, herbs, and fruits God must have the glory of all the benefit we receive from the produc of the earth. If we have, through grace, an interest in Him who is the Fountain, we may rejoice in him when the streams of temporal mercie are dried up.
