Overview

Plants, like all living things, need to reproduce to continue their species. In flowering plants, reproduction happens through flowers.

Key Concepts

Fertilization happens when the male gamete

Fertilization happens when the male gamete from the pollen fuses with the female gamete in the ovule. This forms a zygote, which grows into a seed.

After fertilization, the ovule becomes a seed. A seed has a seed coat for protection and cotyledons that store food for the baby plant.

Germination is the process in

Germination is the process in which a seed grows into a seedling when it gets water, air, warmth, and soil.

Some plants can grow new individuals

Some plants can grow new individuals from parts like stems (potato, ginger), roots (sweet potato), or leaves (bryophyllum).

Seeds are scattered away from the parent plant by wind, water, animals, or explosion to avoid competition for resources.
