This document summarizes information about angiosperms. It notes that angiosperms are flowering plants that retain leaves year-round, usually grow to 75 cm tall, and bloom in early summer. Reproduction occurs within the flower through pollination and fertilization, which leads to the development of seeds inside protective structures. Angiosperms are an important source of food, medicine, wood, and shelter for animals. They also have a taproot system or adventitious roots.
