Parts of a Plant and The Life Cycle of a Plant By, Pratiksha Navgire Roll no.70 Prof In-charge: Prof. Rajendra Thigale Parts of a Plant Roots Roots hold the plant in the soil so it doesn’t blow away. They also take in water. Stem The stem holds up the plant and carries water from the roots to the leaves. Leaves The leaves use light from the Sun, carbon dioxide from the air and the water taken in by the roots to make food for the plant. Flowers Flower Seeds • Seeds are formed in the center part of the flower or in the fruit. Fruits come from flowers. • Seeds come in many shapes and sizes. • Plants grow from seeds. Parts of a Seed Seed Coat– protects the seed Cotyledon—stored food If a seed receives water and gets warm, the baby plant (embryo) inside it starts to grow. The process of a baby plant beginning to grow is called germination. We say the seed germinates or sprouts. The first part of the plant we see pushing its way out of the seed coat is the root. Here we see pictures of a bean seed and a corn seed germinating (sprouting) and growing into plants with roots, stems and leaves. After the seed germinates (sprouts) and grows into an adult plant, the plant flowers. It is the flower that makes seeds for new plants to grow and develop. This process from seed to adult plant to flower to seed is called: The flowers make seeds. The seeds are scattered— ready to grow. The seed absorbs water. The root pushes through the seed coat. Life Cycle of a Bean Plant The stem and its leaves grow toward the sunlight. The leaves make food for the plant. The seedling (new plant) grows out of the ground. Here is another diagram of the life cycle of a plant Here is the life cycle of a tree. How a Seed Grows into a New Plant The life of a plant begins as a seed. Once a seed is watered and warmed, it germinates. The root pushes through the seed coat. The roots of the seedling grow down into the soil and the leaves and stem push out of the ground. The stem and its leaves grow toward the sunlight. The leaves make the plant’s food. The flowers form and bloom. New seeds are formed inside the flower or within the fruit that comes after the flower dies The seeds are scattered and wait to start growing. Remember… When the embryo (baby plant) inside the seed begins to grow, we say the seed sprouts or germinates. The young plant that grows from a seed is the seedling. The seedling grows into an adult plant and flowers. The flowers produce seeds. Let’s Review! 1.
