When you grow only enough food for local use, it's referred to as "subsistence farming." This practice focuses on producing just enough crops and livestock to meet the needs of the farmer and their family, rather than for sale or trade in broader markets. Subsistence farming often emphasizes sustainability and self-sufficiency within local communities.

Why do plants grow into rocks?

Plants can grow into rocks due to a process called mechanical weathering, where roots expand as they grow, causing rocks to crack and break apart over time. This process allows plants to find nutrients and water in the cracks of rocks to sustain their growth.


Where do plant seeds get their food?

From the seed whence it came from. The endosperm is what contains the most nutrients for a seedling to grow from, so that it can sprout up its first leaves called the cotyledons, and sprout roots down into the soil. Once the plant is big enough to grow on its own and has used up all the energy from the seed it came from, the seed itself (or what's left of it) decomposes back into the earth.
