Most plants share five primary parts, each with a specialized role: : Anchors the plant; absorbs water and minerals from soil
: The seed begins to sprout after absorbing water. Seedling : A young plant emerges above the soil. Vegetative : Growth of stems and leaves. Flowering : Mature plant produces blooms for reproduction. Senescence : The final stage of the life cycle. ☀️ Survival Requirements To thrive, plants generally require four basic elements: Sunlight : Energy source for food production. Water : Vital for nutrient transport and structure. Soil : Provides a physical base and essential minerals. Air : Carbon dioxide is needed for photosynthesis. 🔬 Classification and Types Seedling : A young plant emerges above the soil
