Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Annuals are plants that complete their life cycle in one year. They germinate, grow, bear fruits and die off within an year.

Detailed explanation-2: -Annual flowers grow for one long season, often into the fall, then die with the onset of freezing weather. With perennials, the above-ground portion of the plant dies back in freezing weather, but re-grows from the base and rootstock the following spring to bloom again.

Detailed explanation-3: -Annuals. Annuals take a single year to complete a full life cycle. Most are planted in the spring, bloom in the summer, and die in the fall. A few, known as winter annuals, germinate in the later summer and autumn, are dormant during the winter, and grow during the next spring and summer.

Detailed explanation-4: -Definition. Annual plants complete their life cycle in one growing season. Biennial plants are planted in one year, grow through the year, grow on and flower during the next year.
