Answer:

The characteristic that is most unique to plants is that they undergo photosynthesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process in which plants use sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into energy-rich organic compounds, such as glucose, and oxygen. This process allows plants to produce their own food, which is not possible for heterotrophs (which rely on other organisms for food) or single-celled organisms.
