Growth & Pollination
Plants go through different stages during their lives.
Growth of the plant
- Main life stage:
- The plant grows and develops the main features of a typical flowering plant.
- The main features of a typical flowering plant include leaves, stem, roots and flower buds.
Pollination
- Flower buds open to attract pollinating insects (e.g. bees).
- The wind can also carry the pollen to other plants.
- Pollination causes the life cycle to continue again.
