Chapter 35, Problem 3TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Plants are multicellular organisms and they belong to the kingdom Plantae. The photosynthetic process is used by the plants to make their own food. The common examples of plants include shrubs, trees, and grasses. Xylem and phloem are the vascular tissues found in several plants, and they carry nutrients and water throughout the plant. The plant is made up of several different parts that include the stem, roots, and leaves.
