Compare and contrast the three types of anthophyte life spans?

Anthophytes, or flowering plants, exhibit three main life spans: annuals, biennials, and perennials. Annuals complete their life cycle in one growing season, germinating, flowering, and dying within a year. Biennials take two years to complete their life cycle, typically growing vegetatively in the first year and flowering in the second. Perennials live for multiple years, often flowering and producing seeds repeatedly throughout their lifespan, allowing them to adapt to varying environmental conditions over time.
