Expert Solution
Step 1

Plants are autotrophic in nature. they receive the  energy from the sunlight and then convert it into the chemical energy to produce food and oxygen for themselves as well for others.

Characteristics of plants are those characteristics which defines the plants and classifies them accordingly.

Plants possess two types of characteristics. These are:

1. Inherited characteristics - The characteristics which are inherited from their ancestors or characteristics which are shared with the green algae.

2. New characteristics - The characteristics which the plants adapt themselves with the changing environment conditions. These characteristics are not possess by their ancestors or by the green algae. These characteristics are evolved within the plant lineage only.
