Plant Kingdom
The kingdom Plantae accounts for the largest proportion of the earth’s biomass with its approximately 250,000
species of mosses, liverworts, ferns, flowers, bushes, vines, trees, and other plants. Aquatic and terrestrial plants are
the basis of all food webs. They contribute life-supporting oxygen to the atmosphere and provide humans with the
fossil fuels, medicines, and other substances so important to our present existence.
