The Life Cycle
of a Bean
Plant
• Some plants
do not have
fruit that
the seed
grows in, but
have a pod
called a bean.
A bean is the part
of the plant that
holds the seeds.
There are many
different kinds of
bean plants but
they all grow in a
similar way.
Stage One
• The bean
seed is
covered in a
hard outer
shell. When
water is
added to the
seed,
Stage Two
• it swells and
the seed
bursts open.
Stage
Three
• As the roots
grow, a stem
will also
appear. The
bean uses the
food in the
seed to grow.
Stage Four
• Leaves will
grow on the
stem and
stretch
towards the
light.
• The bean
seed is the
part of the
plant that is
eaten. Peas
and lima
beans are
bean seeds.
