In this tutorial, we will learn about the Plant Kingdom Classification which is one of the major topics in Plant Biology. All living organisms are classified into five broad kingdoms – Monera, Protista, Fungi, Animalia and Plantae. PLANT KINGDOM CLASSIFICATION Previously many members of Fungi, Monera and Protista which had cell walls were classified under […]
