Plants are the main object of study in botany and, in scientific terms, they are all multicellular organisms with plant cells. In other words, plants are those living beings that obtain energy from sunlight captured through the chlorophyll present in them and specialized in photosynthesis processes that convert carbon dioxide into chemical nutrients to survive. Oxygen spontaneously arises from this conversion and that is why plants are also vital for the subsistence of other living beings such as the human race.
Different living beings are considered within the kingdom of plants and in short it can be said that it is made up of terrestrial plants and algae. Although in the past fungi and other living beings that did not engulf or ingest food were considered to be typical of this kingdom, today the living kingdoms are much more clearly defined.
Specifically, it is said that the characteristics of a plant are the cellular level known as eukaryote, the nutrition that occurs through photosynthesis, respiration and perspiration, the metabolism of oxygen, a reproduction that can be asexual or sexual with gametes and zygote and with spores, a type of multicellular life and a structure with plasmodesmata.
The common plant is divided into root, stem, leaf, flower and fruit. Plants are distinguished between those that are annual (usually those with flowers or others such as millet and wheat), those that need two years to complete their cycle or biennials (chard, radishes and others), and those that subsist for more than two years (including most trees and shrubs).
Throughout history and today, plants have had various uses for the human race, starting with food and nutrition (fruits and vegetables), the transformation or use of their components to produce medicines or beauty products (for example , aloe vera), or even to develop clothing, furniture and all kinds of functional or decorative objects.
Mainly, the inclusion of green spaces in houses, neighborhoods and cities has the objective of purifying the air and counteracting the effects of the generation of carbon dioxide by human activity.
