At this stage, it produces its first adult leaves, which help the young plant to grow and reproduce. Seeds are capsules that contain a baby plant. Seeds are also an important part of this life cycle. The plant produces an endosperm and a zygote. Pollen enters the ovary and fertilizes the egg.

It then develops in the pollen tube that extends through to the ovary and into the egg. A pollen grain from another plant is sent to a receptive plant flower. As the plant grows, more leaves form, and it forms a bush or vine-like adult plant known as a pole.Īt maturity, flowering plants send out pollen grains to fertilize other plant flowers. The cotyledon emerges, producing the embryonic leaves and shoots. Warm conditions speed up the germination process. The embryonic stem continues to grow, and more roots emerge from the hypocotyl. Once the seeds germinate, the hard outer coating breaks, exposing the first root. Its seed pods are the first sign that the plant is ready for harvesting. Once the seeds germinate, the plant is fully grown and is ready for harvesting. Once they reach sunlight, the seed leaves break through the soil surface and spread out.

The tiny stem begins pushing toward the surface of the soil, carrying the seeds and spreading them out. The life cycle of a bean plant starts with its seed germination, which lasts for six to eight weeks. The life cycle of a bean plant has four distinct phases which are included in the diagram above as follows: seed to seedling to sprout to young plant and finally to adult.

Biology lesson for students from 2nd to 7th grades to learn the stages in the life cycle of a bean plant.
