Explanation

The life cycle of a bean plant:

• Seed: The plant begins as a seed, containing the embryo and stored food.
• Germination: The seed absorbs water, sprouts, and grows its first roots and leaves.
• Leaf growth: The plant develops its leaves, stems, and roots, and begins to photosynthesize.
• Flowering: The plant produces flowers, which contain the reproductive organs and allow for pollination.
