PLANT REPRODUCTION: FRUITS AND SEEDS

After the pollen grains reach the stigma, a fruit forms.
Inside the fruit are the seeds.
Fruits can be fleshy or dry.

• Fleshy fruits contain a lot of water. They are juicy.
• Dry fruits contain little water.

Inside each seed there is a tiny plant.
The seed falls to the ground, absorbs water, then germinates.
The little plant starts to grow and becomes a new plant.
