A seed lies hidden under the soil. First it pushes out a tiny root that drinks water from the ground, then a stem rises into the light with two small leaves on top. Little by little the stem grows taller, more leaves appear, and right at the top the flowers open. It is the same plant all along, only bigger.
Examples
- The bean you put in a cup with damp cotton wool at school: after a few days a root comes out and a little stem appears.
- The sunflower in the garden or the pot on the balcony that you water: week after week it grows taller than you.
Key takeaways
- Every big plant started out as one small seed.
- The root grows first and drinks water; after that the plant needs light to grow.
