Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The plants are multicellular organisms that fall under Eukaryota group of organisms. The early plants used to live underwater and during the course of evolution, they adopted a terrestrial life. The plants are the ultimate source of nutrition to all living organisms because they are able to perform photosynthesis and produce oxygen as a byproduct. The released oxygen is the main driving force for most of the organisms, including humans.
