Life Cycle of Acorns
The life cycle of an acorn is fascinating and begins with a mature oak tree.
The tree produces acorns which are picked up by animals, such as squirrels, who then bury them. These acorns germinate and grow into new oak trees.
Acorns are the fruit of oak trees and have a hard shell that protects the seed inside.
The shell cracks open and the seed germinates, growing into a new oak tree.
Acorns can remain dormant in the ground for many years before growing into a new tree.
The life cycle of an acorn is a long and complicated process that involves several different stages.
Acorns are an important part of the ecosystem and provide food for many animals.
