Land plants, also known as terrestrial plants, are organisms that primarily grow on land rather than in water. They belong to the kingdom Plantae and are characterized by their ability to perform photosynthesis, a process that converts sunlight into energy. Land plants include a wide variety of species, such as trees, shrubs, and flowers, and they play a crucial role in ecosystems by providing oxygen and serving as food sources for many animals. These plants have adapted to survive in diverse environments, from deserts to forests. They possess specialized structures, such as roots for anchoring and absorbing water, stems for support and transport, and leaves for capturing sunlight. Land plants are essential for maintaining ecological balance, influencing climate, and supporting life on Earth.
