How many stages are in each plant life cycle?
It really does depend on the organism in question, for example
some species like dragonflies include metamorphosis, which
completely transforms their appearance- some species include larval
stages, like butterflies. Some species on average live only for a
day or two, like some species of Mayfly! But all have a life and
death stage, some have a 'teenage' stage, some a child/young stage
and so on. It really does depend on the animal- imagine a human
before it becomes an adult curling up into a ball and constructing
a cocoon around its body and hangs on a leaf (or tree, mind the
weight)!
