The plant life cycle for kids:

Here, we explain the main stages in the plant life cycle for kids:

• Seed - All plants start off as seeds. Seeds are small grains that have fallen from the flowers of dead plants. 
• Germination - Seeds need soil, water, air, sun, and warmth in order to "sprout." This is when roots emerge from the outer shell of the seed.
• Seedling - At this stage, the seedling (or young plant) begins absorbing food through its roots. It emerges from the ground and starts soaking up sunlight, which it uses to produce its own energy. This process is called photosynthesis.
• Mature plant - Over time, the seedling grows into an adult plant with many leaves and, sometimes, a flower.
• Pollination - Insects, such as bees and butterflies, are attracted to flowers because of their bright colors and the sweet nectar they contain. While drinking the nectar, they pick up pollen on their fuzzy bodies, which they take to the next plant they visit. This is how plants reproduce.
