Life Cycle of a flowering plant worksheet - Free Printable

To solve this problem, we need to match each image with the correct stage of the flowering plant's life cycle. Let's analyze each stage step by step:

Stages of the Flowering Plant Life Cycle:

1. Seed: The starting point where the plant is in a dormant state.
2. Sprout: The seed germinates, and the first shoot emerges from the soil.
3. Seedling: The sprout grows into a small plant with developing roots and leaves.
4. Adult Plant: The plant matures and develops a full structure with leaves, stems, and sometimes flowers.
5. Plant with Fruit: The adult plant produces flowers, which eventually develop into fruits containing seeds.

Matching the Images:

#### Image 1 (Top Right):
- This image shows a single seed.
- Match: seed

#### Image 2 (Middle Right):
- This image shows a small plant emerging from the soil, with a root system beginning to develop.
- Match: sprout

#### Image 3 (Bottom Right):
- This image shows a slightly larger plant with more developed leaves and roots.
- Match: seedling

#### Image 4 (Bottom Middle):
- This image shows a mature plant with fully developed leaves, stems, and flowers.
- Match: adult plant

#### Image 5 (Top Left):
- This image shows a plant with fruit or seed pods attached, indicating that it has completed its reproductive cycle.
- Match: plant with fruit

Final Answer:

- Top Right: seed
- Middle Right: sprout
- Bottom Right: seedling
- Bottom Middle: adult plant
- Top Left: plant with fruit
