: The seed begins to sprout after absorbing water. Seedling : A young plant emerges above the soil. Vegetative : Growth of stems and leaves. Flowering : Mature plant produces blooms for reproduction. Senescence : The final stage of the life cycle. ☀️ Survival Requirements To thrive, plants generally require four basic elements: Sunlight : Energy source for food production. Water : Vital for nutrient transport and structure. Soil : Provides a physical base and essential minerals. Air : Carbon dioxide is needed for photosynthesis. 🔬 Classification and Types : Many life-saving treatments are derived from plant
: They release oxygen and help regulate the climate. Seedling : A young plant emerges above the soil
: Vascular plants with specialized transport tissues. 🍎 Importance to Humans Plants are essential for human survival and global health:
: Roots prevent soil erosion and help maintain clean water.
