Kingdom Classification - Plantae

Characteristics

• Multicellular: Organisms in this kingdom are composed of many cells.
• Eukaryotic: They possess a true nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
• Autotrophic: They produce their own food through photosynthesis, using chlorophyll.
• Cell Wall: Possess rigid cell walls primarily made of cellulose.
• Reproduction: Primarily reproduce sexually, but many also exhibit asexual reproduction.
• Habitat: Mostly terrestrial, but some are aquatic.

Examples

• Algae: Simple aquatic plants (e.g., Spirogyra, Chlamydomonas).
• Mosses: Non-vascular plants (e.g., Funaria).
• Ferns: Vascular plants that reproduce by spores (e.g., Dryopteris).
• Flowering Plants: The most diverse group of plants, reproducing by seeds enclosed within fruits (e.g., Rose, Mango, Wheat).
• Conifers: Cone-bearing plants (e.g., Pine, Fir).
