growth pattern
How organisms develop
Growth pattern describes the characteristic way something develops or increases over time.
In biology, it refers to how organisms expand—whether plants branch, how tumors spread, or how children gain height and weight: The pediatrician tracked her growth pattern on a chart.
In business and economics, growth patterns describe how markets, industries, or investments develop: The company showed an exponential growth pattern in its first five years.
The term implies regularity or predictability in how change unfolds.
