plant growth
Plant growth is the process by which plants increase in size and develop new structures. It begins with germination, where a seed sprouts roots and shoots. Plants use sunlight to produce energy through photosynthesis, primarily in their leaves, converting light, water, and carbon dioxide into sugars. These sugars fuel growth, enabling the plant to develop stems, leaves, and roots. Adequate water, nutrients from the soil, proper sunlight, and suitable temperature are essential for healthy growth. As plants grow, they continuously expand, develop new leaves, flowers, and ultimately produce seeds, completing their life cycle.
