Introduction
•Plant, any member of the plant kingdom,
comprising about 260,000 known species of
mosses, liverworts, ferns, herbaceous and
woody plants, bushes, vines, trees, and various
other forms that mantle the Earth and are also
found in its waters.
•Plants range in size and complexity from small,
nonvascular mosses, which depend on direct
contact with surface water, to giant sequoia
trees, the largest living organisms, which can
draw water and minerals through their vascular
systems to elevations of more than 100 m (330
ft).

• The leaf provides food for the rest of the plant through the
process of photosynthesis.
• The outermost layer of the leaf is the epidermis, which is
protected by the waxy coating of the cuticle. Guard cells
implanted in the epidermis form pores, known as stomata,
through which water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide pass.
• Embedded in the inner tissues of the leaf are chloroplasts,
where photosynthesis occurs. The plant veins consist of two
specialized tissues. Xylem conducts water from the plant to
the leaf, while phloem carries food from the leaf to the
plant.
