Several features of Kingdom Plantae are as follows:
- They are stationary. They are static and usually remain in one place only.
- They have branches that expanded and green leaves due to the presence of chlorophyll.
- They are an autotrophic mode of nutrition that simply means they prepare their food with the help of water, sunlight and carbon dioxide. It is further known as self-nutrition.
- They indulge in photosynthesis during the day and therefore more carbon dioxide is needed during the day and at night it is released.
- They secure their food in the form of starch-like algae.
- They have an inelastic wall around their cell known as a cell wall comprised of cellulose.
- There is an absence of the nervous system and excretory system.
- Reproduction is entirely dependent on air, insects and water. Asexual and vegetative method of reproduction is noticed or detected.
- The non-photosynthetic plants acquire their food through parasitism, i.e through their host like Indian pipe.
