![]() When they fall on the rich soil with necessary things, such as water and the right temperature, they germinate and start their journey of life. These seeds are dispersed across the land in many ways, such as moving water, wind, animals, and humans. They contain the embryo of the plants with necessary food and an outer coating for protection. The five stages of the Life cycle of Plants are: ![]() But the most widely accepted is the 5 stage model. The stages of a plant’s life cycle are broken into 3, 4, and 5. After that, further growth starts and the plant reaches maturity where it pollinates and gives seeds so that its species continue to survive by starting the life cycle again. The seed is buried in the ground by various methods where it germinates and the first leaves of the plant start to appear called seedling. Most of the plants start their life as a seed. This alternation of generation is not only common in plants but also found in algae and fungi. Both haploid and diploid are multicellular and their cells split by meiosis and mitosis process of cell division respectively. In this lifecycle, the haploid sexual phase (gametophytes) which consists of only a single set of chromosomes turns into a diploid asexual phase (sporophytes) which contains two sets of chromosomes. The alternation of generations is the primary type of lifecycle in plants. ![]() These two phases of the plant lifecycle can also alternate and this process is called the alternation of generations Alternation of Generations ![]() The life cycle of plants contains various stages which follow under the two distinct phases of the Plant’s life cycle which are the haploid phase and diploid phase. ![]()
