Step 1 of 4
- A seed germinates into a seedling.
- The seedling grows into a full plant.
- The plant flowers and holds new seeds.
- Those seeds can start the loop again.
The rule
Next, the plant makes new seeds in pods.
Making more of its own kind is the last sign.
The loop from seed to seed is a life cycle. A seedling is a very young plant. A pod is the case that holds seeds.
A new living thing may not look like its parent. A tadpole is a young frog. It looks very different from an adult frog.
