Abstract

Plant is a living organism. Plants are essential for any ecosystem. They provide all the energy for the ecosystem, because they can get energy directly from sunlight. They use a process called photosynthesis to use energy from the sun to grow and reproduce. They also must get nutrients from the soil. Those nutrients get into the soil when decomposers breaks down waste and dead materials. Plants require space to grow and reproduce. Like Animals, plants are also surrounded by a large number of enemies in natural or in its original habitats. Because of all ecosystems contain a wide variety of bacteria, viruses, fungi, nematodes, mites, insects, mammals, and other herbivorous animals. Therefore plants cannot avoid these herbivores and pathogens or enemies simply by moving away. So, they must protect themselves in other ways that is different from animals. On account of this there are some mechanisms which are conducted by the plant for the protection of itself from their enemies or protect themselves against both herbivores and pathogenic organisms. There are basically two systems in plant which protect the plant from enemies.
