• Oxygen produced during the process of photosynthesis is also an excretory product.
• Other waste products of plants are gums, resins, latex, tannins, etc.
• Gums are produced due to the disintegration of cellulose.
• Tannin is produced by the extraction with water or organic solvents obtained from the galls of some trees.
