Plant’s Life Cycle
 The life cycle of plants can be broken into 5 main stages
which are:
1. Seed
2. Germination and Seedling
3. Growing to Maturity
4. Flowering, Pollinating, and Seeding
5. Seed Dispersion
Seed – 1st Stage
 Seeds are much like babies of animals. Seeds contain the
embryo of the plants with necessary food and an outer
coating for protection.
 The seeds are dispersed across the land in many ways, such
as moving water, wind, animals, and humans. When they fall
on the rich soil with necessary things, such as water and the
right temperature, they germinate and start their journey of
life.
Germination and Seedling – 2nd Stage
 When the conditions in the soil are just right, the seed
germinates. First, it breaks the outer coating and begins
growing its first roots and leaves.
 When the first sign of life from a seed appears out of the soil,
it is called a seedling. As soon as the roots and leaves
appear, they start their work, i.e. roots absorb water and
nutrients, and leaves make food by photosynthesis.
Growing to Maturity – 3rd Stage
• The seedling continues to grow until it reaches its full
maturity. The plant needs many necessary things during its
growth
• When plants become mature, they have to get stronger roots
and an increased number of branches and leaves. At this
stage, they are ready to make flowers and new seeds.
Flowering, Pollinating, and Seeding
– 4th Stage
 When plants become mature, they start to make flowers. A
flower contains male and female parts; the male part is called
a stamen, and the female part is called a pistil. The pollen is
produced in the stamen part and needs to reach the pistil for
the production of seeds. The pollen usually reaches to pistils
by insects that land on flowers for sucking sweet fluids. When
the pollen reaches the pistils, it fertilizes the cells inside it and
produces seeds.
Seed Dispersion – 5th Stage
 After the production of seeds, the plants need a way to
disperse these seeds to favorable places where they can
germinate and start their life cycle. Most of the time, nature
does the job of dispersion for the plants through winds,
moving water, and animals. But there are also plants whose
seeds are surrounded by fibers that help them to glide in the
air upon falling from the plant. During their glide, they reach
very far distances and start their life away from their parent
plants.
Garden Weed
 A weed is a plant considered undesirable in a particular
situation, "a plant in the wrong place". Examples commonly
are plants unwanted in human-controlled settings, such
as farm fields, gardens, lawns, and parks
