Overview
Plants, like all living things, need to reproduce to continue their species. In flowering plants, reproduction happens through flowers. This chapter explains how plants make seeds through a process called fertilization. After pollination, where pollen reaches the stigma, fertilization takes place in
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
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
Seeds are scattered away from the parent plant by wind, water, animals, or explosion to avoid competition for resources.
