How Do Plants Grow? Understanding the Plant Life Cycle
Key Vocabulary in Plant Growth
- Seed: A seed is a tiny object produced by plants that contains a baby plant, ready to grow.
- Seedling: A seedling is an early stage of a plant that has just begun to grow from a seed.
- Adult Apple Tree: This is a fully grown apple tree capable of producing apples.
- Adult Bean Plant: Similar to the apple tree, this refers to a fully grown bean plant that produces beans.
- Fruit: The part of the plant that holds and protects seeds.
Stages of the Plant Life Cycle
- Stage One - Seed: The life cycle begins with a seed, which is essential for plant growth.
- Stage Two - Seedling: When provided with water and sunlight, the seed germinates into a seedling.
- Growth into Adult Plant: As seedlings mature, they develop into adult plants capable of producing seeds, thus continuing the life cycle.
Specific Examples of Plant Life Cycles
Life Cycle of an Apple Tree
- An apple tree starts as a seed and progresses through stages until it becomes an adult apple tree.
- Adult apple trees produce flowers; some flowers develop into fruits containing seeds.
Life Cycle of a Bean Plant
- A bean plant also begins as a seed and grows into a seedling before maturing into an adult bean plant.
