The Plant Life Cycle
A plant's life begins inside a seed. When a seed is planted in soil and watered, the seed will start to sprout. This process is called germination.
The plant breaks through the seed and grows roots and a stem. A young plant is called a seedling. Leaves start to grow on the stems. Leaves are needed to absorb the sunlight and make food for the plant.
Some plants grow buds which become flowers. When flowers are pollinated they turn into fruits which have seeds inside them. Do you remember what’s inside a seed? ...a baby plant! When the seed is planted the cycle starts all over again.
