Plants

Plants are living organisms that make up a crucial part of our ecosystem. They have been around for millions of years, evolving and adapting to their environment. Plant cells contain a variety of organelles that work together to keep the plant alive and thriving. But plants are more than just pretty decorations for our homes and gardens. They are essential for life on Earth as they produce the oxygen we breathe and are the base of the food chain. Learn more about plants and their importance to our planet on ecowarriorjc.com.
