Natural selection is the same for all organisms. There are variations in all organisms. You don't look exactly like your father or mother. Some variations are more suited to the environment they live in. Those that are more suited, survive longer and are more likely to produce more offspring. Those that are not suited wont. This means each species will change over time to become more and more suited favouring those more suited in the first place. This is the same for plants and animals. New species in plants usually begin with what is called a kline. If there are a group of plants growing up a mountain, those at the bottom will be more suited to the characteristics of where they live like warmer weather. Those at the top are more suited to their different environment. Plants next to each other will interbreed but often the same species at each end of the kline won't. If the middle of the kline disappears, perhaps by fire, we now have two new species.

Is natural selection a process or a result of a process?

Natural selection is only the result of changing environments, mutation and the variation resulting therein. Natural selection is the process of adaptive change and the main mechanism of evolution that leads to speciation. Natural selection is a process as mutation and variation are grist to the mill of natural selection.
