Recently, me and my group grew seed pods on our plant. Inside the seed pods they grew seeds. A seed pod is a part of a plant that grows if pollinated. Our plant was pollinated so it grew seed pods. Seed pods are like a bag around the seeds. They keep the seeds inside the seed pod to grow and eventually fall out. You can also take them out by taking the seed apart.
The life cycle of a plant starts from a seed. Any different kind of flower can have seeds in some way. If the seed we were growing was a daisy, then the seed it started growing from was from a different daisy. It’s like that plant has a mom or a dad. After the seed has been placed in the soil it starts to create roots. Roots hold the plant in place and sucks up water from root hairs on the root. Then it starts to grow from sunlight and other nutrients. First it grows a stem, and as soon as it detects light, it creates leaves to gather it. It keeps growing taller with more leaves and eventually grows buds. The buds turn into flowers hoping to get pollinated. The flowers petals have color because the want to attract insects. After pollination the petals fall of because they no longer need to be pollinated. As this happens, the plant grows seed pods and eventually releases them. The seeds might be carried by the wind or disposed by an animal to grow. This is the life cycle of a plant. I had a great time learning about plants and I hope you did too.
