All plants are living. They have a life cycle. Plants start as a seed. The seed is planted in the ground.
The seed will begin to grow. Roots grow down in the soil. The roots help get water to the plant.
The stem of the plant will soon pop up from the ground, as the seedling begins to sprout. Seedling is the term for a baby plant. The leaves will grow on the stem. The leaves help the plant make food using air, water, and sunlight.
The plant will grow bigger. It will grow flowers or fruit. New seeds are made and they will be spread around by wind or by insects like bees. The seeds drop onto the ground, and the life cycle of a plant begins again.
