How a Seed Grows into a New Plant
The life of a plant begins as a seed.
Once a seed is watered and warmed, it germinates.
The root pushes through the seed coat.
The roots of the seedling grow down into the soil
and the leaves and stem push out of the ground.
The stem and its leaves grow toward the sunlight.
The leaves make the plant’s food.
The flowers form and bloom.
New seeds are formed inside the flower or within
the fruit that comes after the flower dies
The seeds are scattered and wait to start growing.
