Plant life cycles describe the stages that plants go through from seed to maturity. The cycle typically begins with a seed, which germinates when conditions are right, such as moisture and warmth. As the seed sprouts, it develops roots, stems, and leaves, eventually growing into a mature plant. Once mature, the plant produces flowers or cones, which contain reproductive structures. Pollination occurs, leading to the formation of seeds. These seeds can then be dispersed by wind, water, or animals, starting the cycle anew. This process is essential for the reproduction and survival of many plant species, including flowers, trees, and grasses.
