Earth Facts

Good morning all, here we are at another Monday and that means some facts taken from my Great Book Of Knowledge, yes that is the name of the book I am using for these posts. This week we are looking at plants.

Some plants have evolved leaves, stings or poisons to protect themselves from being eaten by animals.

There are around 300,000 plant species in the world.

Everything we eat comes from plants either directly when we eat plants or indirectly when we eat animals that feed on plants.

All plants can be divided into two groups flowering plants which include roses, sunflowers and most trees, and non-flowering plants such as mosses and ferns.

Some plants eat insects and other tiny animals these are called carnivorous plants and grow in area where the soil is thin and lacking nutrients.
