Plants are eukaryotes in the kingdom Plantae, predominantly photosynthetic and using chloroplasts to produce sugars. Some parasitic plants have lost the ability to photosynthesize and obtain energy from other plants or fungi. The plant kingdom includes green algae and land plants. Land plants evolved from ancestors that lived in water, with the first land plants appearing around 450 million years ago. Plants have distinctive features like a large central vacuole, chloroplasts, and a cell wall. They play a crucial role in providing oxygen, and they are used for various purposes such as food, building materials, and medicines. Plant structure includes the shoot system, root system, and different organs like leaves, stems, and roots. Plant cells have unique characteristics like a large central vacuole, chloroplasts, and a cell wall. Roots have structures like root hairs and tap roots.
