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

Germinate:
a seed
begins to
grow
6
Stage 1: Seed
The first stage of plant growth from a seed to a
seedling.
7
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.
8
Stage 2: Growth
A young plant has
more leaves than a
seedling, so it
makes its own food
through
photosynthesis.
Tomato Seedling
Young Tomato Plant
A young plant is
larger and has
longer, stronger
stems and roots
than a seedling.

Stage 3: Flowering Plant
Now, 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.
