Abstract: Motivated by the theory of correspondence functors, we introduce the notion of {em germ} in a finite poset, and the notion of {em germ extension} of a poset. We show that any finite poset admits a largest germ extension called its {em germ closure}. We say that a subset $U$ of a finite lattice $T$ is {em germ extensible} in $T$ if the germ closure of $U$ naturally embeds in $T$. We show that any for any subset $S$ of a finite lattice $T$, there is a unique germ extensible subset $U$ of $T$ such that $UsubseteqSsubseteqoverlineG(U)$, where $overlineG(U)subseteqT$ is the embedding of the germ closure of $U$.
