Plants reproduce through pollination and fertilization, where pollen from the male anther reaches the female stigma and travels down the style to fertilize the ovary and create seeds. The life cycle of a seed plant involves seeds germinating into seedlings, growing into adult plants that undergo pollination and fertilization to produce fruit containing seeds, which then disperse to repeat the cycle. Seed plants can be classified by where they store their seeds - in fruit for flowering plants and in cones for conifers. Plants inherit traits from their parents and can also reproduce through runners, cuttings, bulbs, and tubers.
