Sunflower

A sunflower is a tall, bright yellow flowering plant known for its large, circular face that resembles the sun. Its scientific name is Helianthus annuus. Sunflowers grow by turning their flower heads to follow the sun—a behavior called heliotropism—maximizing photosynthesis. They produce seeds that are rich in oil and nutrition, which are used for food, oil extraction, and bird feed. Sunflowers also have deep roots that help stabilize soil and absorb nutrients. They are cultivated worldwide for their beauty, ecological benefits, and economic value in agriculture and industries.
