Plants collect sunlight with their leaves and along with water and carbon dioxide from the air, they make the sugars they need to grow. This process is called photosynthesis. Once plants reach their adult size, they begin to grow flowers. The flowers will need to be pollinated so they can develop fruit and seeds. Many plants depend on animals for pollination or to move their seeds around. This is because plants can’t move on their own. They need help bringing their pollen to all their flowers.
