Plant phenomena refer to various natural processes and behaviors exhibited by plants. These can include growth patterns, flowering cycles, and responses to environmental changes. For example, phototropism is the way plants grow towards light, while germination is the process by which seeds sprout and begin to grow. Another interesting aspect of plant phenomena is pollination, where plants rely on insects, birds, or wind to transfer pollen from one flower to another, enabling reproduction. Additionally, some plants exhibit allelopathy, releasing chemicals into the soil to inhibit the growth of nearby plants, thus reducing competition for resources.
