Plant and Tree Differences in Biology Import Concepts Must to Know
Question. Difference between Plant and Tree.
Answer:
Differentiating Property | Plant | Tree |
Meaning | Plants are associated to the kingdom Plantae. | Trees are tall plants with woody tissue. |
Sizes | Plants vary in sizes. They can be of few inches or closer to the grounds like grasses or long like shrubs. | Trees are generally taller than plants. They can be of few feet or more towering up to feet like coast redwood. |
Shapes | Plants have more unique shapes – from the scrambling vines to clumps or thickets. | Trees have many shapes – ranging from columnar types to triangular and rounded forms. |
Height | Plants such as shrubs and grasses are short and are closer to the ground. | Trees can be various sizes; generally, they are taller than other plants. |
Stem | Plants have soft, tender stems, single or multiple, or maybe pseudo stem. | Trees are known for their hard and woody stems which are known as the trunk, and it provides support in holding the weight of a tree. |
Longevity | Most plants, aside from trees, do not live long. | Some trees can live up to hundreds of years under favourable conditions. |
Mode of Nutrition | Most plants are autotrophic but there are exceptions such as the Sundews and pitcher plants | All trees are autotrophic. |
Lifespan | Plants do not have a long-life span, some plants are also seasonal, and so they can survive just for one growing season, bi-annuals (for two seasons) or perennials (five to hundred years) . | Trees have a long-life span and can live up to hundreds of years under favourable conditions. |
Changes | Plants are more prone to sudden changes in the environment. | Trees are quite resilient to sudden, unfavorable changes in the environment. |
