Kingdom Plantae is both a more similar and different group in contrast to Animalia. In Kingdom Plantae all members are eukaryotic (contain a true nucleus, DNA, and organized organelles) and are multicellular, just like Animalia. The differences between these two are that members in Plantae are autotrophic (create their own food), are non-motile and have a bit of asexual and sexual reproduction. Members of Plantae are most prominent on land but also can live underwater depending on what type of plant organism it is. Plants have chlorophyll , a green pigment necessary for photosynthesis and their cell walls are made sturdy by a material called cellulose. Examples of some of the members you may find in this kingdom are: roses, river ash, daffodils, lilac and pacific dogwood.
