Where Do Plants Come From?

Life cycle of bean plants. Bean plants come from seeds. Each seed contains a tiny plant waiting for the right conditions to germinate, or start to grow.

What Do Seeds Need to Start to Grow?

Bean plant seeds wait to germinate until 3 basic needs are met: water, right temperature (warmth), and a suitable location (such as in soil). During its early stages of growth, the bean seeds relies upon the food supplies stored with it in the seed until it is large enough for its own leaves to begin making food through photosynthesis. The seedling's roots push down into the soil to anchor the new plant and to absorb water and minerals from the soil. And its stem with new leaves pushes up toward the light: The germination stage ends when a shoot emerges from the soil. But the plant is not done growing. It's just started. Plants need water, warmth, nutrients from the soil, and light to continue to grow.
