Solution
The main features of Kingdom plantae are as follows:
- They are multicellular, eukaryotic, immobile and chlorophyll-containing plants.
- Their cells are with plastids and the cell wall is made up of cellulose.
- They prepare their own food by the means of photosynthesis; hence they are called autotrophs. Some of them are, however, heterotrophs. Example: Parasitic ( Cuscuta )
- They are vascular plants as they have vascular tissues i.e. xylem and phloem for conduction. However, Algae and Bryophytes lack them.
- They store food in the form of starch.
- They are either non-flowering or flowering plants.
