A life cycle shows how a living thing grows and
changes. While plants life cycles are continuous, the
life of a plant begins with the seed. For a plant to
grow, plants need sunlight, water, the right
temperature conditions, and a safe place. Plants
adapt in different ways to get the things they need to
survive. An indoor plant near a window will bend
toward the light. Many plants in shady places will
grow larger leaves to maximize the amount of
sunlight it receives. Plants that live in dry places will
grow longer roots to find water deep below. Seeds
will lie dormant until the right conditions arise.
