| − | A '''plant''' is any member of the [[Kingdom (biology)|kingdom]] [[Plantae]]. Taxonomically, plants can be divided into non-vascular (mosses, liverworts, hornworts, and algae) and vascular plants. Vascular plants contain lignified tubes that help transport water within the plant. The best known plants are the [[flowering plant]]s. Most flowering plants have six parts: [[Leaf|Leaves]], [[Flower]]s, [[Fruits|Fruit]], [[Stem]]s, [[Seed]]s and [[Root (Plant)|Root]]s. | + | A '''plant''' is any member of the [[Kingdom (biology)|kingdom]] [[Plantae]].
