If someone asked you to name a plant, you might say, “a tree”. You’d probably think of many other green and leafy living things, too. But not all plants are green and leafy. Most are, but not all.
So what makes a plant a plant?
Plants usually spend their whole lives rooted to one place. They can’t move around like animals. Most plants produce seeds to make new plants.
Plants also have special kinds of cells. Plant cells have tough, thick walls made of cellulose. And most plants contain a special substance called chlorophyll. Plants use chlorophyll to make their own food with the help of water, air, and sunlight. Animals have no chlorophyll.
