3.4.- How plants germinate.
Plants grow if they have the right soil and water. During the life of a plant, its stem grows and new leaves grow.
- The stem gets taller and thicker. Hard stems divide into branches.
- The roots grow down into the ground. They divide into smaller roots.
- The leaves get bigger and new leaves grow.
Some plants live longer than others. Some plants only live for a few months. They grow flowers and fruit, and then they die.
Other plants live for several years. Trees can live for a very long time. Trees are the plants that live the longest
