Roots
Roots act like straws. The 3 most command roots are Tap roots, Fibrous root and Adventitious root. Tap roots grow really deep in the ground. Fibrous roots are seen to be growing side to side with the Tap root.
Stem

Seed leaves
Seed leaves are round leaves. They are the first leaves to appear. When they appear it is time to put them outside.
True leaves
True leaves are not round at all. When they get to big you have to put them in a bigger pot.

Photosynthesis
Is when the sun reflects off the plant and when Carbon dioxide goes into the leaf and makes food for the plant. The plant gives off oxygen for people to breath.
Birth of flower - seeds will germinate and begin to grow roots. Then a stem will grow up through the surface.
Growth and development - the seedling begins to grow taller and produce leaves. The plant will begin to mature and grow flowers.
Reproduce - pollination of a flower is necessary for this step. It is done by wind, rain and insects.
Death of a flower - the flower will die and dry up. The seeds will then be carried away by wind, birds and insects. The growth process will start over again.
Life cycle
It starts life as a seed which germinates then the plant starts to grow then it grows into a flower then it produces fruit then the fruit releases the seeds then the plant dies
