What is the life cycle of a plant?
A plant goes through a life cycle just like animals!
In the first stage is the seed. Inside each seed is a tiny plant and some stored food. The plant uses the food when it begins to grow!
In the second stage is the germinated seed. Germination is the process of which a plant begins to grow from a seed. When a seed gets water, sunlight, and oxygen, it may start to grow. The roots start to grow downward into the soil.
In the third stage is the seedling. The roots grow longer. The stem breaks and grows upward toward the sunlight. It starts to make food for the plants to grow. There are also some leaves on the stem.
In the fourth stage is the mature plant. At this stage, more leaves and stems have grown. Flowers will also grow and make seeds. The seeds can make more plants.
At the final stage is when the plant withers and dies. Then, the cycle will begin all over again when another seed is planted into the soil.
