Does the kingdom plantae move on its own?
No, Plantae are plants, they are anchored to the soil by roots so have no locomotion of their own.This may be up to interpretation. Plants may not lift their roots and walk around as members of the animal kingdom do but they do still move. In plants movement is called a "tropism" and examples of this include phototropism where the plant moves it self towards a light source. This happens when it elongates the cells on one side of a stem to create a bend.Other reasons for movement in a plant can include;Movement towards or away from ChemicalsA "touch" sense in some plants that cause movementMovement towards or away from waterMovement as a response to windThere are also Fig trees in Queensland called "Walking Figs". They are called this because the branches send down new roots that eventually form a new trunk. If the main trunk of these trees was destroyed for any reason and you has a few hundred years to spare you could watch the branches "walk" away from each other.

What makes Madrone's refrigerator trees cold?
Madrone trees are native to the chaparral regions of the North West mountains. The outside layer of the madrone tree and the leaves use sunlight (photosynthesis) to produce nutrients/energy for the tree. Since the outside layer of the trunk of the tree is transporting water and other life supporting liquids, the lexternal ayer of the tree is cold. These trees do not have a dead layer of bark on the outside of the trunk nor branches. The entire tree is producing energy, including the trunk and branches.

Why do trees lose their leaves in autumn?
trees make food during the summer from the sunlight they trap through the leaves and turn it into food, this is called photosynthesis but due to lack of sunlight during the winter, the trees store just the right amount of food to maintain the branches and the trunk but not the leaves so to save on food supply, the trees loose their leaves
