The pituitary gland secretes hormones that help regulate growth. When it stops producing certain hormones, you stop growing.

There can be problems with being too large, so humans have evolved over time to have the proper amount of hormones produced (which can vary a bit). People with malfunctioning pituitary glands, can have a variety of problematic growth disorders.

Development in human beings is a lifelong process that continues throughout adulthood. While physical growth and development tend to slow down in early adulthood, cognitive, emotional, and social development continue to occur throughout life. Development can be influenced by a variety of factors including genetics, environment, and individual experiences.

The growth finishes shortly after Puberty ends. There is other growth that continues though, like muscle and fat.
