- The Kingdom Plantae, also known as the plant kingdom, is one of the major kingdoms in the classification of living organisms. It consists of diverse groups of organisms that are primarily characterized by their ability to photosynthesize, converting sunlight into energy through the process of photosynthesis.

The process of photosynthesis uses chlorophyll, which is located in organelles called chloroplasts. Plants possess cell walls containing cellulose. Most plants reproduce sexually, but they also have diverse methods of asexual reproduction.

The plant kingdom contains mostly photosynthetic organisms; a few parasitic forms have lost the ability to photosynthesize. The process of photosynthesis uses chlorophyll, which is located in organelles called chloroplasts.
Introduction. The kingdom Plantae constitutes large and varied groups of organisms. All are eukaryotic, multicellular with differentiated tissues, and photosynthetic. There are more than 300,000 species of cataloged plants. Of these, more than 260,000 are seed plants.
Plants are composed of fewer cell types than are animals, but each different kind of plant cell is specialized to perform specific tasks required by the organism as a whole (Figure 1.12). The cells of plants are organized into three main tissue systems: ground tissue, dermal tissue, and vascular tissue.
Sep 4, 2018 · The plant kingdom has the following characteristic features: They are non-motile. They make their own food and hence are called autotrophs. They reproduce asexually by vegetative propagation or sexually. These are multicellular eukaryotes. The plant cell contains the outer cell wall and a large central vacuole.
