in plants : Carbon dioxide, excess water produced during respiration and nitrogenous compounds produced during protein metabolism are the major excretory products in plants. Plants produce two gaseous waste products i.e. oxygen during photosynthesis and carbon dioxide during respiration.
Human beings have a well-developed excretory system while plants do not have an excretory system. This is because of the differences in their physiology. Therefore, plants use different strategies for excretion.
