What is a plant

 What is a Plant?

Plants are living organisms. It comes in different shapes, sizes, and colors but they all have something in common, all plants require air, water, nutrients, and sunlight. 

Plants cover about 30% percent of our planet. Plants produce oxygen in the air we breathe and also help animals stay alive. Every Grass, Flower, Tree, Bush, Fern, or even moss is a plant. Plants have a cell wall because plants such as trees don't have a skeleton therefore it uses a cell wall to keep it sturdy and the cell wall helps it to stand. 

Plants are prey to herbivores, an animal that only eats plants. Plants produce their food using Photosynthesis, plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create energy and oxygen in the form of sugar.

Plants scatter the seeds they produce because if the seeds grow closely together they have to compete for sunlight, nutrients, and water from the soil. 

Plants have all kinds of techniques to spread their seeds around. Some plants with fruits depend on birds and animals because after the birds or any other animals eat the fruit they throw out the seeds and the seeds scatter, some plants are designed to explode to disperse their seeds, these plants are called, Violet, Poisonous squirting cucumbers, Touch-me-nots, and Impatiens capensis. Touch-me-nots have a very effective way of dispersing their seeds, Touch-me-nots burst and use a forceful ejection that sends the seeds flying a far distance from the original plant.   

On land or in sea plants play a very critical part in the continuance of life on our planet Earth.
