All living things on the earth belong to the plants or animals family. The plant family get their food and water from the soil. They also need sunlight to grow. Some of them live in water and get their food from water. They are thousand of plants.
We can divide plants into two groups. There are the plants without stem, roots, or leaves. These are the algae and the mosses. Both kinds of plants need a lot of water. So, algae is usually found in water and mosses are found in wet places.
The other group is the plants with stem. They consist of all the fruit trees, flower plants, vegetables, and all the timber trees, these plants have roots, stems and leaves.
The plants with some stems can be divided into flowering plants and non flowering plants. The flowering plants have a fruit with a seed inside the flower. Some seeds are flat like wings and carried by the wind. Some seeds gave fleshly fruit which animal eat and pass out. Some seeds are collected and distributed by man. In this way, plants grow once again from the seed.
The non flowering plants have spores growing on the leaves. When they are dry, they are carried by the wind. Those spores that fall on wet soil start to grow again. These are some of the ways plants live and multiply.
