Activity: take a cutting from a rose plant. Abhinav singh.

[Audio] Root development Initially, the cutting may not have roots, but after some time, you should observe the formation of new roots. The roots will start growing from the base of the cutting into the soil. This is a critical step as it indicates that the cutting is successfully establishing itself.

[Audio] Stem growth The stem of the plant will start to elongate and thicken as it grows. This is a sign that the plant is putting down strong roots and is getting ready to become a mature plant..

[Audio] Leaf growth As the roots develop, you should also notice new leaves emerging from the stem of the cutting. These leaves will gradually increase in size as the plant continues to grow..

[Audio] Change in appearance Initially, the cutting may look fragile or wilted, but over time, it should regain its turgidity and appear healthier. The color of the leaves may also change, becoming more vibrant and green.

[Audio] Transplanting After a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on the plant species, the cutting should be well-rooted and ready for transplanting into a larger pot or into the garden if the weather conditions are suitable..

[Audio] Flower production Depending on the type of plant, you may observe the development of flower buds and eventual blooming. For roses, it can take longer for the plant to reach a stage where it produces flowers..

[Audio] Maintenance After the initial growth, you'll need to continue caring for the plant by providing it with the appropriate amount of sunlight, water, and nutrients, as per the specific needs of the plant species..

[Audio] How to care It's essential to be patient when propagating plants from cuttings, as the timeline for development can vary depending on the plant type, environmental conditions, and care provided. Some plants may take several months to a year.

[Audio] Herbarium is a collection of dried plant specimens that are stored, catalogued, and arranged by family, genus and species for study..

[Audio] Animals can be categorized based on their habitat, and two primary habitat categories are land and water. Here are some examples of animals that inhabit these environments: Land Animals: Mammals: Many mammals are terrestrial, including lions, tigers, elephants, deer, wolves, and humans. Birds: Birds such as sparrows, eagles, penguins, and ostriches are predominantly land-dwelling. Reptiles: Snakes, lizards, turtles, and tortoises are examples of land-dwelling reptiles. Amphibians: Amphibians like frogs, toads, and salamanders are often found near freshwater on land. Insects: Countless insect species, like ants, bees, butterflies, and grasshoppers, live on land. Water Animals: Fish: The majority of fish species live in water, including salmon, sharks, goldfish, and tuna. Marine Mammals: Animals like dolphins, whales, and seals are adapted to life in the ocean. Crustaceans: Creatures such as crabs, lobsters, and shrimp are aquatic animals living in oceans and freshwater bodies. Mollusks: Mollusks include animals like clams, octopuses, and squids, which are often found in water. Aquatic Insects: Some insects, like water striders and dragonfly nymphs, spend their early stages in water. Amphibians: While they start their lives in water, many amphibians, like frogs and salamanders, eventually move to land. These are just a few examples of the diverse range of animals that inhabit land and water environments. Animals have adapted to their specific habitats through various evolutionary processes to meet the challenges of each environment..
