What is plant growth?
Plant growth is a continuously changing journey in which plants expand in their dimensions, intricacy, and
weight as time progresses. This journey includes phases like germination, the growth of leaves and stems,
reproduction, and eventual aging. This process is guided by elements such as water, light, nutrients,
temperature, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. Growth is propelled by the division and expansion of cells within
dedicated growth zones named meristems. Plant hormones take charge of growth activities, while the
plants' adaptations empower them to flourish across various settings. Grasping the intricacies of plant
growth holds immense significance for sustainable farming, safeguarding biodiversity, and tackling
environmental predicaments.
