Passage: The Life of a Plant

Have you ever wondered how a tiny seed grows into a tall, green plant? Plants are living things, just like animals and people. They need food, water, air, and sunlight to survive. Let’s explore the journey of a plant from seed to flower.

First, the seed is planted in the soil. The soil keeps the seed safe and provides nutrients. When the seed gets water, it begins to sprout. This is called germination. A small root grows downward into the soil, and a tiny shoot grows upward toward the sunlight.

Next, the plant develops leaves. Leaves are very important because they help the plant make food. Plants use sunlight, water, and air to create their own food in a process called photosynthesis. This is why plants are often called “producers” in nature—they make food not only for themselves but also for animals and humans.

As the plant grows taller, it may develop flowers. Flowers are colorful and attract bees, butterflies, and other insects. These insects help the plant make seeds by carrying pollen from one flower to another. This process is called pollination. Once pollination happens, new seeds are formed, and the life cycle begins again.

Plants are very important to our world. They give us oxygen to breathe, food to eat, and shade to rest under. Without plants, life on Earth would be very difficult. So, the next time you see a flower or a tree, remember the amazing journey it took to grow!
