: A unique life cycle where plants alternate between a multicellular haploid phase ( gametophyte ) and a multicellular diploid phase ( sporophyte ). 3. Major Plant Groups

: Many plants use flowers to attract pollinators and produce seeds and fruits , which protect the embryo and aid in its dispersal.

: The process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create food (glucose) and oxygen. Growth Types : Plant Biology

To survive and grow, plants undergo several complex processes:

: Facilitated by lateral meristems, this increases the thickness (girth) of stems and roots, particularly in woody plants. : A unique life cycle where plants alternate

: Unlike animal cells, plant cells possess cell walls for structural support and chloroplasts for photosynthesis.

: The "anchor" of the plant, roots absorb water and essential nutrients from the soil. : The process by which plants use sunlight,
