Plants can be classified into annuals, perennials and biennials on the basis of their lifespan:

• Annual plants complete their lifecycle in one year. E.g., jowar, sunflower, corn, rice, etc.
• Biennial plants are those which complete their lifecycle in two years. E.g., carrot, beetroot, etc.
• Perennial plants live for several years. E.g., oleander, hibiscus which are shrubs and trees like mango, and gulmohar.
