Life Cycles - Plants
Explore the magical world of plant life cycles with this KS2 Science quiz, focusing on the fascinating journey from seeds to dispersal - an essential topic in understanding life!
For flowering plants, the cycle unfolds: seeds germinate, grow roots and shoots, becoming seedlings that mature into adult plants with flowers. Fruits develop, each containing seeds for dispersal. Some trees, like the ancient yew in Llangernyw, Wales, have thrived for thousands of years, while others, like cress, live only a few weeks.
Test your knowledge of plant life cycles with this quiz and discover the wonders of the plant kingdom!

9 .
Why do plants need sunlight?
Plants use sunlight to make food
