Things grow until they don't need to grow. Like how you stopped growing at 5'7

Since most things are larger than the gametes they spawned from, they necessarily have to start small and get big, as to why things need to be big it's just because they exist in a niche where a certain size is optimal, consider a big ass tree that takes all the sunlight from smaller plants that might live underneath it.
