Leaf Formation: As the shoot grows, it begins to produce true leaves, which are different from the cotyledons. True leaves are usually more complex in structure and shape, and they are responsible for carrying out photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy that the plant can use for growth.

Maturation: As the plant continues to grow, it enters a phase of maturation where it develops its reproductive structures, such as flowers, fruits, and seeds. These structures allow the plant to reproduce and produce new generations.

Throughout this process, the seedling relies on various environmental factors such as water, sunlight, temperature, and nutrients from the soil to support its growth. With the right conditions, the seed gradually transforms into a mature plant capable of producing its own seeds, continuing the cycle of life.
