Introduction
Plants are multicellular living organisms which are photosynthetic and capable of producing their own food. The plants cover much area of the land on Earth; which include grass, ferns, bushes, mosses and more.
They belong to the kingdom plantae and are mostly eukaryotic.
These plants need nutrients in order to grow and make food. The important nutrients required for the plants and their sources are described below.
