Land plants

Land plants, or terrestrial plants, are organisms that typically grow in soil or on land. They are vital to Earth’s ecosystems, providing oxygen through photosynthesis while serving as food and habitat for many animals. Land plants include a wide variety of species, such as trees, shrubs, grasses, and flowering plants. They have adapted to different environments, from deserts to wetlands. Key features of land plants include roots for anchorage and nutrient absorption, stems for support and transport, and leaves for photosynthesis. Together, they play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance and supporting life on Earth.
