Plants are living organisms that belong to the kingdom Plantae and include trees, herbs, bushes, grasses, vines, ferns, mosses, and green algae. There are about 350,000 identified extant plant species, including 287,655 that have been identified as of 2004, with 258,650 being flowering plants and 18,000 being bryophytes. Plants obtain most of their energy from sunlight through photosynthesis.

Plants are living organisms belonging to the kingdom Plantae.
They include familiar organisms such as
trees, herbs, bushes, grasses, vines, ferns, mosses, and green algae. The scientific study of plants, known as botany, has identified about 350,000 extant species of plants, defined as seed plants, bryophytes, ferns and fern allies. As of 2004, some 287,655 species had been identified, of which 258,650 are flowering and 18,000 bryophytes (see table below). Green plants, sometimes called Viridiplantae, obtain most of their energy from sunlight via a process called photosynthesis.
