let’s read more about them.

Terrestrial Plants

Terrestrial plants are the plants that grow on land.

There are different parts of land where plants grow like:

 Plains            Mountains  Deserts

Plants in Plains                                                      Neem tree

Plants growing in plains have more space to spread out.
They have many branches with flat leaves. They have
lush and green branches from the tree top. These plants
can grow in hot summers as well as cold winters. For
example, neem, gulmohar, etc. The trunk of these
plants are thick and very strong. The leaves shed during
autumn and new leaves grow every year during spring.

          Redwoods of California are the tallest trees of the world.
