Plant and mountain question?

Question

1)What is the name of the mountain whose summit is furthest away from the centre of the earth?

2)Recently, a plant was discovered to be able to use as biofuel. What is this plant?

3)And which plant group has the largest diversity?

Answer 1

1) Mount Everest may not be the tallest mountain(there was one which was discovered in the ocean) but however its peak is the highest known(8848m) above sea level.

2) Various plants can be used. Corn is significant among them

3)  I am not too sure about this one but I feel that fungi might be. I may be wrong.

Answer 2

1) "The point farthest from the center of the Earth is the summit of Chimborazo volcano in the Andes of Ecuador. Its elevation is only 6,310 m (20,703 ft) but because of its location near the equator it gets a boost from the equatorial bulge caused by the spin of the earth. This bulge makes the earth's radius about 21,000 m (68,900 ft) greater at the equator than at the poles. In fact, the beaches of Ecuador are farther from the center of the earth than is the summit of Mt. Everest."

3) I think the plant group that has the largest diversity are the Angiosperms, or the flowering plants.
