Stage 1: Seed
When a seed has enough air, and temperature is
right, a seed takes in water and starts to grow.

Germinate:

grow
Stage 1: Seed
The first stage of plant growth from a seed to a
seedling.
Stage 2: Growth
The 2nd stage of a flowering plant’s life cycle is growth.
The plant grows from a seedling to young plant.
Seedling
• A very young plant
grown from a seed.
Stage 2: Growth
A seedling starts to grow leaves and
begins to make its own food.
As the plant grows more
leaves, there will be less
need for the cotyledons.
The cotyledons will
eventually be shed.
(Think of cotyledons as
the plant version of
baby teeth.)
Stage Two: Growth
A young plant has more leaves than a
seedling, so it makes its own food
through photosynthesis.
A young plant is larger and has
longer, stronger stems and roots than
a seedling.

Plant enters stage 3 of it’s
life cycle!
Stage 3: Flowering Plant
Now that the plant
has flowers, it can
reproduce itself
through pollination.
Plant grow flowers to
attract pollinators.

Stage 3: Flowering Plant
Pollination must happen for a plant to develop into a
fruiting plant.
Cross-pollination
The pollen moves from the stamen of one flower to
the pistil of a different flower.
Self Pollination
The pollen moves
from the stamen to
the pistil within
the same flower.
This plant is growing from an adult flowering plant to the adult
fruiting plant stage of it’s life cycle through the process of
pollination!
Stage 4: Fruiting Plant
•
The bottom of pistil grows into a fruit
with seeds inside.
