Why plants in polar regions have very short growing season?

Plants in polar regions have very short growing seasons due to extreme cold temperatures that inhibit plant growth. The presence of snow and ice for much of the year also makes it challenging for plants to grow and photosynthesize. Additionally, limited sunlight during the polar winter, known as polar night, further restricts the time available for plants to carry out photosynthesis and grow.
