 MATURE PLANT
a seedling develops into a mature plant.
Depending on the species of plant, this
can take anything from days to weeks to
even years. Throughout this phase, the
plant’s roots are growing below ground to
allow it to absorb the water and nutrients
it needs. The roots also provide the plant
with stability and support, anchoring it into
the soil.
Flowering, pollination ,fertilization
Flowering - are plants that bear
flowers and fruits and form the
clade Angiospermae, commonly
called angiosperms.
Pollination - is the act of transferring
pollen grains from the male anther
of a flower to the female stigma.
The goal of every living organism,
including plants, is to create
offspring for the next generation.
Fertilization - is the joining of male
and female gametes, resulting in a
zygote.
Seed formation
During this phase in the life cycle of a plant that
grows flowers, seeds will form, and inside these
seeds will be a viable plant embryo.At this point
in a flowering plant life cycle, the flower will die,
and a fruit will develop. The fruit protects the
seeds from damage and helps them in the final
stages of the life cycle.

the aerial part of the plant, which

ROOTS AN
The primary root is the first root that
emerges from the plant embryo,
usually during germination. It develops
into the main root that anchors the
plant and absorbs nutrients.
Secondary roots, on the other hand,
branch off from the primary root,
contributing to a more extensive root
system for increased nutrient
absorption and stability.

1. Leaf Formation: Primordia, or tiny leaf
buds, form along the sides of the shoot
apical meristem
2. Stem Growth: The shoot apical meristem
also contributes to the elongation of the
stem.
3. Branching: Branches arise from axillary
buds, which are found in the leaf axils – the
angle between the leaf and the stem.
 Flowering and Pollination
Flower Formation
The mature plant produces flowers, which are
essential for the reproductive phase of the life
cycle.

Purpose of Flowers
Flowers attract pollinators and house the
reproductive organs necessary for the plant's
continuation.

Pollination Process
Pollen is transferred from the anther to the
stigma, either by wind, insects, or other animals,
initiating fertilization.

 Seed Formation
1. Pollination: Pollen from the male reproductive organ (stamen) is
transferred to the female reproductive organ (pistil) of the flower.
2. Fertilization: Once the pollen reaches the stigma of the pistil, it
travels down the style to reach the ovary.
3. Seed Development: After fertilization, the fertilized ovule develops
into a seed.
4. Maturation: As the seed develops, it undergoes maturation processes.
5. Seed Dispersal: Once the seed is mature, it may be dispersed from the
parent plant to new locations.
