plant

noun PLAHN-tah Common

floor (of a building)

Usage Note

Planta has two common meanings learners often miss: a living plant and a floor/storey of a building (planta baja = ground floor, primera planta = first floor above ground). In a factory context it means 'plant' as in facility. The phrase planta baja is the standard equivalent of 'ground floor' in Spain.

"Riega la planta todos los días."
