Kingdom of Plants

The Kingdom of Plants includes all types of plants, from tiny mosses to towering trees. These organisms are characterized by their ability to make their own food through photosynthesis, using sunlight, water, and air. They have cell walls made of cellulose, and their life cycle often involves a balance between a sporophyte (diploid) and a gametophyte (haploid) stage. Plants provide oxygen, food, and habitats for many other organisms, playing a vital role in ecosystems. This kingdom encompasses diverse groups such as mosses, ferns, conifers, and flowering plants, all essential for life on Earth.
