How does Mama's plant in "A Raisin in the sun" act as a symbol?

what does it symbolize and how does this contribute to the play?

How does Mama's plant in "A Raisin in the sun" act as a symbol?
Mama treats the plant, like one of her children, she nurtures it and wants to take it to a new house to live.


She believes it will survive in the poorest of soil, but knows it will truly flower in better soil.


In the last part of the movie, the family gets the better house in the better neighborhood and Mama, and family and plant move there.


I think the plant symbolizes hope for the future.
