Plants differ in many basic traits of humans and animals, but as well as these have growth, reproduction and response to external stimuli of all kinds. In particular, the principles of plant propagation are manifold, with most species having an alternating effect of sexual and vegetative reproduction. Plants, especially in the form of green plants and their ability to photosynthesize, play an indispensable role in human life, as plants of this species provide for constant conversion of carbon dioxide into oxygen. In addition to their importance as a crop and food flowering plants also a special, aesthetic role is considered, which is described in the field of floristics and exploited, for example, by the composition of bouquets and flower arrangements. The scientific consideration of plants, regardless of their aesthetic value or their benefit for humans and animals, is summarized under the name of botany.

This ability was acquired over generations, during which the French plant was exposed to the harsh climate of the Atlantic coast and developed a tactic of not suffering from an excess or deficiency of nutrients despite the very salty air. This property can still be exploited today, as the plant does not metabolize it and simply releases it to the outside, even with a surplus of different nutrients.

trees

trees T like table decoration The term woody plants has a variety of plants or plants, all of which are characterized by the lignification of their stalk with their progressive growth.

In the vast majority of cases, woody plants multiply via the traditional sowing of seeds, which can be present in a simple core form as in the apple tree as well as in special forms such as acorns or beechnuts.
