<h1>🌱 The Plant Life Cycle</h1>
<h2>Week 14 — Monday | Plant Growth Process</h2>
<h3>📖 Reading Time</h3>
<div class="reading-box">
<p>Every plant starts as a tiny seed. A seed has a baby plant inside and a small food supply. When the seed gets water and warmth, it begins to grow. This is called germination.</p>
<p>First, a small root grows down into the soil. Then a tiny shoot grows up toward the sunlight. This little shoot is called a sprout. The sprout unfurls its first small leaves. Now it is a seedling.</p>
<p>The seedling keeps growing taller and stronger. It adds more leaves. Its stem gets thicker. Eventually, it becomes a mature plant. A mature plant can make flowers and seeds. Those seeds can fall to the ground and start the whole cycle again!</p>
</div>

<h3>🔍 True or False — Circle Your Answer</h3>
<p><span class="circle-box"></span> <strong>1.</strong> A seed has a baby plant inside it.</p>
<p><span class="circle-box"></span> <strong>2.</strong> The shoot grows before the root.</p>
<p><span class="circle-box"></span> <strong>3.</strong> Germination means the seed starts to grow.</p>
<p><span class="circle-box"></span> <strong>4.</strong> A seedling is bigger than a mature plant.</p>
<p><span class="circle-box"></span> <strong>5.</strong> Seeds need water and warmth to grow.</p>
<p><span class="circle-box"></span> <strong>6.</strong> The life cycle starts over when new seeds are made.</p>
