What type of weed germinates in the spring and develops a rosette?

  1. Annual

  2. Biennial

  3. Perennial

  4. Winter Annual

The correct answer is: Annual

An annual weed is a type of plant that completes its entire life cycle - including germination, growth, reproduction, and death - within one year or growing season. This type of weed typically germinates in the spring and develops a rosette, which is a circular arrangement of leaves at the base of the plant. Biennial weeds, on the other hand, have a two-year life cycle and usually do not produce a rosette until the second year. Perennial weeds can live for more than two years and may or may not form a rosette. Winter annual weeds germinate in the fall or winter and do not typically produce a rosette. Therefore, the most accurate answer to this question is A Annual.
