Plants are eukaryotic cells and have a vascular system and have two major systems that are shoot system and root system. Plants show osmoregulation, nastic movements, transpiration, respiration, photosynthesis. The life cycle shows gametophytic and sporophytic generation with the primary and secondary cell walls.
