- Kingdom Plantae consists of multicellular, eukaryotic organisms that are capable of photosynthesis.
- Plants are found in almost every habitat on Earth and are important for maintaining the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
- Plants can be vascular (having specialized tissues for transporting water and nutrients) or nonvascular (lacking specialized transport tissues).
- Vascular plants are further divided into seed plants (such as flowers, trees, and bushes) and ferns.
- Nonvascular plants include mosses and liverworts.
- Plants have a variety of reproductive strategies, including sexual reproduction (via seeds) and asexual reproduction (via spores, vegetative reproduction, or fragmentation).
- Some plants have specialized structures for defense, such as thorns and toxic chemicals.
- Many plants have symbiotic relationships with other organisms, such as mycorrhizae (with fungi) and pollination (with animals).
- Plants are used for various purposes, including food, medicine, and building materials.
- Plant classification is based on characteristics such as the presence of seeds, the structure of the flower, and the type of vascular tissue.
