Plant Life Cycle
Seeds
•
•
•
•
Plants grow from seeds
Seeds are grown in the center of a plant
Seeds come in many shapes and sizes
Seeds travel to new areas by planting,
water, animals and wind
Parts of a Seed
• Seed Coat
• Seed Leaf
• Stored Food
• Developing Plant
Parts of the Seed
• Seed Coat – hard covering outside the
seed used for protection
• Seed Leaf – part that looks like a leaf
inside each seed
Seed to Plant
• When a plant begins to grow inside a seed
it is called germination
• A young plant growing from a seed is
called a seedling
• The stages in a plants life is called its Life
Cycle
The Plant Life Cycle
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The seed germinates
The root moves through the seed coat
The seedling grows out of ground
The stored food is used in the seed leaves
The seed leaves fall off
The new plant makes its own food
New seeds are formed and dispersed
