Plantes are living organisms that belong to the kingdom Plantae. They are primarily characterized by their ability to perform photosynthesis, a process that converts sunlight into energy. This process occurs in specialized cell structures called chloroplasts, which contain the green pigment chlorophyll. Plants play a crucial role in the ecosystem by producing oxygen and serving as a food source for various organisms. There are many different types of plants, including trees, shrubs, flowers, and grasses. They can be found in diverse environments, from forests to deserts. Plants reproduce through various methods, including seeds and spores, and they can be classified into groups such as angiosperms and gymnosperms.
