Multicellular plants have levels of organization. What characteristics of cells makes this possible?

A cell is the basic unit of life. Therefore it can exist on its own in the lowest form of organization. Nonetheless, cells can also communicate with other cells using signaling molecules and can also respond to stimuli. This means cells can communicate and organize themselves into higher orders of organization such as tissues and organs. This also the cell to perform coordinated functions.

The characteristics of cells to divide and convert into specialized cells makes it possible for the different levels of organizations to occur. Specialized cells perform specialized functions which are necessary for the body of each organism. The working of these specialized cells allows the formation of the specialized tissues and the levels of organizations continue. Hence, we can consider the ability of the cells to multiply and divide into specialized cells as the basic characteristic due to which levels of organization occur.
