Understanding the Stages of a Plant's Life Cycle

Plants have a fascinating life cycle that consists of several stages, starting from seed germination to the formation of flowers and fruits. The stages include seed germination, growth of roots and stems, development of leaves, formation of flowers, pollination, and finally, seed production. Each stage is crucial for the plant's survival and reproduction. Understanding the plant life cycle is essential for students to grasp the importance of plants in the ecosystem. In South Africa, Grade 7 students can explore this topic in their Science curriculum, under Life and Living, focusing on the intricate details of the plant life cycle.
