Description given on Youtube:
There are different types of plant species, which are found on planet earth. They are sorted and classified into a separate kingdom known as Kingdom plantae. This classification is based on their similarities and differences.
The Kingdom plantae is also called as kingdom Metaphyta. The Kingdom plantae includes all types of eukaryotic, multicellular, photosynthetic plants found in this biosphere. Most of the organism in this kingdom is autotrophs, which synthesis their own food with the help of solar energy. There are very few species, which are both autotrophs and heterotrophs.The history of life on earth and the success of many organisms literally depend on the success of plants.
Kingdom Plantae Definition
The Kingdom plantae can be defined as multicellular, autotrophic eukaryotes, which conduct photosynthesis. All member of this family comprises of true nucleus and advanced membrane bound organelles. They are quite different from animals. The Kingdom Plantae contains about 300,000 different species of plants. Among the five kingdoms, Kingdom plantae is a very important, as they are the source of food for all other living creatures present on planet earth, which depends on plants to survive.

Below you could see characteristics for kingdom plantae
Most of the plants are eukaryotic and chlorophyll containing organisms.
Cell walls of plant cells are comprised of cellulose.
They have an ability to grow by cell division.
In life cycle of plant cells, the interchanges occur from the embryos and are supported by other tissues and self produce.
Plants have both organs and organ systems.
They obtain their energy from sun through photosynthesis.
Plants reproduce both by sexual and asexual.
Plants develop a self defense mechanism to protect them from being destroyed by animals, fungi and other plants.
Organisms within Kingdom Plantae are multicellular, eukaryotic and autotrophic.
They lack motility.
