Plant Life Cycles and Adaptations

The video explores how plants adapt to changing environments through their life cycles, which are influenced by seasonal changes. In temperate regions, plants sprout in spring, flower in summer, disperse seeds in fall, and go dormant in winter. In desert and tropical regions, plants adapt to dry and rainy seasons, with seeds remaining dormant during dry periods and germinating quickly during short rainy seasons.
