The plant and plant-like life found on Planet 4546B vary greatly in size and appearance, from vibrant Acid Mushrooms to the mysterious Giant Cove Tree. Flora can be found all over the planet, except for the Lava Lakes (due to its extreme temperatures) and the Crater Edge.

Although most types of Flora are passive, certain exceptions can act as hazards to the player, dealing damage to them on contact or within a certain radius. For example, the Acid Mushroom and Deep Shroom will release a cloud of acid when struck, damaging the player, and the Tiger Plant will actively shoot thorns at the player. Most Flora can be harvested, picked, and farmed in various planters whilst some also serve as a Food & Water source as well as a source of energy when used in a bioreactor.

Some Fauna, such as the Floater or the Amoeboid might act like flora, and due to common misconceptions, are mistaken for flora, but belong to the fauna designation of Scavengers and Parasites.
