Question

What is a plant life cycle?

Answer 1

Plant Life Cycle:

1. Plant life cycle describes the various stages of plant life.
2. The main stages in the life cycle of a plant are seed germination, seedling formation, growth, development and differentiation leading to a mature plant, pollination and fertilisation and the formation of fruit and seeds.

The main stages in the life cycle of plant areas follow:

1. Seed germination:

• This is the very initial stage of the plant life cycle, when the seed has oxygen, sunlight, optimum moisture, and a temperature it starts to grow.
• When the seed expands or swells by absorption of water, it will gradually crack or split the seed coat or it will begin to sprout.
• The root will grows downward.

2. Seedling formation:

• A tiny and fragile plant is known as a seedling.
• It starts growing towards sunlight when it gets the proper nutrients from the sun as well from the roots.

3. Growth and Development:

• In this stage, plants carry out a process called photosynthesis using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to synthesize their own food in the form of sugar.
• And store this energy for the further process during flowering and reproduction.

4. Differentiation :

• Plants become a mature plant and starts flowering when it has enough growth.
• Flowers will attract bees and pollinate insects and helps in pollination and fertilization, and the formation of fruit and seeds.
