Kingdom Plantae includes green, brown and red algae, liverworts, mosses, ferns and seed plants with or without flowers. They have the following characteristics:
- They are multicellular organisms with walled and frequently vacuolate eukaryotic cells.
- These contain photosynthetic pigment in plastids. Principle mode of nutrition is photosynthesis.
- They are primarily non-motile and live anchored to a substrate.
- Reproduction is primarily asexual or sexual. The reproductive organs are multicellular. They form a multicellular embryo during development from the zygote. Algae lack embryo stage.
- Life cycle consists of alternating haploid gametophyte and diploid sporophyte generation. This phenomenon is called alternation of generation.
