Plantae

Kingdom

The plant kingdom: multicellular eukaryotic organisms that generate their own energy through photosynthesis, typically fixed in place by roots, with cell walls built from cellulose. Plantae ranges from mosses and ferns with no seeds or flowers to the conifers and flowering plants that dominate most of Earth's land surface today.
