Answer:

Matter can't be created or destroyed but can change from one form to another.

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of conservation of matter states that matter can be neither created nor destroyed by chemical means, but it can be changed from one form to another. When an object grows in size, for instance, it doesn't mean that matter is being spontaneously generated. A vegetable that grows from a plant is converting nutrient matter from the water, soil, and air.
