The plant kingdom has the following characteristic 2)Prokaryotes were not considered in this classification
features:
1)They are non-motile.
2)They make their own food and hence are called
autotrophs.
3)They reproduce asexually by vegetative propagation or
sexually.
4)These are multicellular eukaryotes.
5)The plant cell contains the outer cell wall and a large
central vacuole.
6)Plants contain photosynthetic pigments called
chlorophyll present in the plastids.
7)They have different organelles for anchorage,
reproduction, support and photosynthesis.
Kingdom Animalia:
Kingdom Animalia is the largest kingdom , containing all
multicellular and eukaryotic organisms without a cell wall.
Characteristics of kingdom Animalia:
