The life cycle of a plant begins with seed germination.
Plants go through vegetative growth, reproductive stage, pollination, fertilization, fruit formation, seed dispersal, and dormancy.
During vegetative growth, plants produce leaves and stems.
Reproductive stage is when plants produce flowers that contain male and female parts.
Pollination occurs when pollen is transferred to the female parts of the flower.
Fertilization occurs when the sperm cells inside the pollen fertilize the egg cells inside the ovules.
Fruit forms around the ovules and may help disperse seeds.
Seeds may enter a period of dormancy to survive unfavorable conditions.
When conditions are right, seeds will germinate and grow into a new plant.
The first part of the plant to emerge from the seed is usually a root, followed by the embryonic shoot.
