    Reproduction in plants involves the production of new individuals through processes like germination and seed dispersal. There are two main types of seeds - monocot seeds with one cotyledon like maize and dicot seeds with two cotyledons like beans. Cotyledons provide food for the embryo to survive. For germination to occur, seeds require air, water, and warmth. Vegetative reproduction is the production of new plants from vegetative parts like leaves and stems, with examples including ferns reproducing through spores. Crops are grown to obtain food and other useful products, going through stages of plowing, sowing, fertilizing, irrigation, protection, and harvesting.
