TYPES OF PLANT
• Flowering plants: These are plants that produce flowers and seeds.
• Non-flowering plants: These are plants that do not produce flowers, such as ferns and mosses
• Trees: These are tall plants with a single stem or trunk, such as oak or maple trees
• Shrubs: These are smaller than trees, with multiple stems or branches, such as rose bushes or holly bushes.

THE LIFE CYCLE OF PLANTS

Seed: It is the starting point of the plant life cycle.
Germination: When the seed starts to grow into a small plant.
Growth: The plant grows bigger, producing leaves, stems, and roots.
Reproduction: The plant produces flowers, which eventually turn into fruits and seeds.

PARTS OF A PLANT: What are the parts of a plant?

Roots: They anchor the plant in the soil and absorb water and nutrients
Stem: It supports the plant and transports water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves.
Leaves: They produce food for the plant through photosynthesis and release oxygen.
Flowers: They are the reproductive part of the plant that produces seeds.

PARTS OF A FLOWER
Petals to attract insects.
Anther produces pollen.
Filament is the stem of the anther.
Pistil is formed by the STIGMA, STYLE and OVARY and produces the seeds
Sepals protect the flower.
