Why don't all plants reach the mature aging stage?

Not all plants reach the mature aging stage due to various environmental factors, genetic predispositions, and ecological interactions. Conditions such as drought, nutrient deficiencies, diseases, and competition for resources can hinder growth and development. Additionally, some plants may have life cycles that prioritize reproduction over longevity, resulting in shorter lifespans. These factors collectively influence whether a plant can achieve its full mature potential.
