Why Does the Fibonacci Sequence Pop Up Everywhere?

Imagine you have a rabbit that gives birth to another rabbit every month, and those rabbits also start giving birth after one month. This simple idea leads to a pattern called the Fibonacci sequence, it starts with 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8… each number is just the sum of the two before it!

This pattern shows up in nature too: like how petals grow on flowers or how shells spiral. The reason? Things that grow most efficiently often follow this kind of simple math rule.
