The diversity of plants

Plants include a variety of organisms like trees, herbs, shrubs, grasses, climbers, ferns, mosses, creepers and green algae.

The SIZE of plants vary from tiny forms which are only a few millimetres in length to the giant tree forms (over 300 feet) or more in height.

It is beleived that there are currently around 300,000 different species of plants. Mind you, new species are continously being added to this list.

Plants can be found in all types of surfaces like tropical, temperate, polar regions and also in desert regions. Plants are there in fresh or salt water as well!

More importantly, where-ever they grow, they open up and hoist a GREEN UMBRELLA.
