Plants

Stages

Seed

Dormant stag;e best for multi-year storage.

Germination

Spouting stage utilizing internally stored resources prior to photosynthesis.

Vegetative Growth

Growing leaves, stems, and roots allowing the plant utilizing external resources enabling photosynthesis.

Reproductive Growth

Growing of flowers and/or fruit to spread its seeds.

Senescence

This is the final stage of plant growth, where the plant begins to age and eventually dies.
