Plants {plant} {land plant}| {higher plant} (Plantae) include green algae, liverworts, bryophyte mosses, hornworts, and tracheophyte vascular plants. Spore-bearing seedless vascular sporophytes are club mosses, ferns, and horsetails. Seed-plant spermatophytes are gymnosperms or angiosperms. Gymnosperms include cycads, ginkgoes, gnetae, conifers, and extinct seed ferns. Angiosperms are flowering plants and are monocots or dicots.
Plants do not include other plant-like things, such as thallophyte fungi and non-green algae.
evolution
Plants came from Charophyta green algae.
coordination
Plants have physical interactions between plant parts.
immune system
RNA molecules can have coding sequences {immune system, plant} {plant, immune system}, at hairpin tips, that cleave messenger RNA from genes or viruses, such as wheat and barley yellow dwarf virus.
waste
Waste gases, such as oxygen, diffuse out leaves. Solid wastes remain in leaves, which eventually drop off {plant, excretion} {excretion, plant}.
