Definition: An organism that is not an animal, especially an organism capable of photosynthesis. Typically a small or herbaceous organism of this kind, rather than a tree.

Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look and see, At what ‘plants’ really mean, for you and me! The dictionary's right, it gives us the key, "An organism that isn’t an animal, you agree?" But more than just not an animal, my dears, It's a special group, banishing all fears! Think of sunshine and green, a magical art, They do something called photosynthesis , right from the start! (Photosynthesis – say it with me: photo-syn-thesis ) That’s how they make their food, with sunlight's sweet kiss.

Well, those are grand and tall, Plants can be many shapes, answering nature’s call. So remember this lesson, it's simple and true, Plants are living things, working for me and you! Do you have any questions? Let’s discuss with glee, Now who can tell me a plant they see?
