Plant Life Cycles: Growing

The video explains the early stages of plant growth, starting with seed germination where the root and stem appear first. The plant uses stored food from the seed to grow. As it develops, it becomes a seedling, a young plant that can grow for weeks or years depending on the species. Some plants, like sequoias, can live for thousands of years, growing taller and larger over time.
