Plants (Plants vs. Zombies)

"Ready... Set... PLANT!"

- The game before it starts.

Plants are living organisms that obtain most of their energy from sunlight in a process called photosynthesis. However, not all of them do. They are also the titular main protagonists of the Plants vs. Zombies franchise as the player's main defense against the undead assailants. Plants also populate in the Zen Garden. They come in many different types, such as aquatic, at night, or otherwise.

They are mutant plants and fungi (probably created by Bloom & Doom Seed Co.) that the player uses to defend their home from the zombie hordes. The plants will be sorted by the levels they debut in, or if they differ greatly. Their main objective is to defend the player's house against incoming zombies.

They were voiced by various voice actors, most of them are confirmed.
