Answer;

-The vegetative phase

-The reproductive phase

-The dormancy phase

Step-by-step explanation;

The vegetative phase occurs when a seed begins to germinate and grows leaves, stems and roots. It is the period of growth between germination and flowering. Plants are busy carrying out photosynthesis and accumulating resources that will be needed for flowering and reproduction.

The reproductive phase is where the plant flowers and produces fruit. And the the dormancy stage occurs when the growth of plants becomes inactive. It is a period in an organism's life cycle when growth, development are temporarily stopped. This minimizes metabolic activity of the plant and therefore helps the plant to conserve energy.
