annual plant
shorter-lived plant that completes its life cycle, from germination to the production of seed, within one year, and then dies
AI overview
An annual plant is one that sprouts from a seed, grows, produces its own seeds, and then dies all within a single year. These plants matter because they're common food crops and wildflowers that quickly replenish themselves each season through their seeds.
