IV. All organisms in Kingdom Plantae have shoots, roots and leaves.

• A. Only I
• B. Only IV
• C. Only II and III
• D. Only I and II

Answer 1

The correct option is D Only I and II

Organisms in Kingdom Plantae are mostly multicellular, chlorophyll bearing organisms that synthesize their own food. The thread-like green, moist velvet textured structures on the rocks and even pine trees are members of Kingdom Plantae.
Not all members of Kingdom Plantae have true roots, shoots and leaves. Exa,ples are algae and mosses. They lack true rootsystem and shoot system.

Lichens are structures formed from the symbiotic association of algae/cyanobacteria and fungi living mutually. So, they are not included in any kingdoms.
