Introduction:
Plants are eukaryotic, multicellular, and photosynthetic organisms. They are complex autotrophic eukaryotes that are able to make their own food with the help of photosynthesis process. Plants are divided into four major groups namely Bryophytes, Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms, and Angiosperms.
