Plants made out of metals

+0
−0

Carbon dominates the makeup of life on Earth.

But is there any way that plants could be made out of metals, or somehow integrate metals with their constitution?

For example, we use calcium in our bones, which is an alkaline metal.

Its there any way that a plant might use metals (alkali or otherwise) to strengthen its structure so as to resist strong winds and protect itself from predators?
