Summary of the Lemon Tree’s Growth Process
Firstly, a seed is planted in the soil, and its hard shell protects it as it begins to grow with the help of water, sunlight, and nutrients from the soil.
Secondly, the seed sprouts, and its shell breaks open. Roots and a stem emerge in a process called germination.
Thirdly, the plant grows as roots extend into the soil, and the stem pushes out of the ground. At this stage, the young plant is called a seedling.
Finally, the plant matures into an adult tree that grows fruit containing seeds, allowing the cycle to start again.
