Summary Introduction
Introduction: The plants are the living organism that needs food for the process of respiration, growth, and reproduction. It synthesizes its own food as starch by the process of photosynthesis. In this term, the prefix “photo” means light and the suffix “autotrophs” means synthesizing own food. Thus the plants are termed as photoautotrophic organism.
