=__**The Plant Kingdom**__= ====**Plants are living organisms, which belong to the Plantae kingdom. The Plant kingdom includes many other species such as trees, flowers, herbs, bushes, grass, vines, ferns, mosses, etc. The study of plants is known as Botany and the scientists who study this are called Botanists. Scientists are continuously finding different plants, at this very minute, scientists may have found a new specimen. Plants don't get their food by hunting or by buying it, they have to make it themselves. This process is called photosynthesis. Only some plants go through this process. Plants get this special ability because they have this material in their cells called chloroplast. Plants get their green color from a substance called chlorophyll.**====

====**Plants give birth, but it is totally different process. Plants give seeds instead of babies, the seeds get spread by different ways. For example, an animal could move it, or by the droppings of animals, or maybe just carried away by the wind. Plant birth is similar to reptile birth. When a reptile lays an egg, a baby hatches from it after sometime. The same way, when a plant drops a seed, it sprouts and grows into a plant after sometime.**====
