‘What is a plant?’ is concerned with the biological classifications of plants and the ‘tree of life’ (or phylogeny) that shows how all living organisms are related to each other. The origin of plants and the oldest extant plants — the glaucophytes — are discussed.
Module2. Trees are the tallest and largest free-standing organisms on earth. It is thought that there are between 60,000 and 100,000 tree and shrub species in the world, the difference being a reflection of the difficulty of defining a “tree”.
