Living creatures in the Animal Kingdom are multicellular and consume other organic matter for food. In terms of diversity, the animal kingdom is the largest of all the kingdoms. Animals are usually mobile and can detect things going on in their environment using various senses such as sight, smell, hearing and taste. Due to the process of evolution, animals have adapted to live in many environments and eat a wide variety of foods, which has led to huge diversity within the kingdom.
Living things in the Plant Kingdom grow in the earth and absorb nutrients from the soil through roots. Plants also use their leaves to absorb energy from the Sun, this is called photosynthesis. Plants need water, carbon dioxide and nutrients to survive, though some plants have adapted to be able to absorb nutrients from insects, such as the Venus flytrap. Next to animals, plants are among the most diverse of the kingdoms. Not only that, but many species of plant that still exist today are extremely old, such as ferns, which are over 350 million years old and have survived when many species of animals, such as the dinosaurs, have gone extinct.
Fungi reproduce using spores which they disperse into the air or water. Fungi are important to the wider animal kingdom because they are the decomposers, living things that consume the remains of other living things and convert them into their base nutrients.
What defines a fungus is its ability to absorb nutrients from its environment by secreting enzymes. Unlike plants, fungi do not photosynthesize.
