Classification of plants
The document classifies plants into two main groups: non-flowering and flowering plants. Non-flowering plants are further divided into mosses, ferns, and gymnosperms. Mosses are the simplest plants and have no vascular tissues or true roots. Ferns have roots, leaves, and underground stems with vascular tissues. Gymnosperms are tall trees with needle-shaped leaves, cones, and naked seeds. Flowering plants are divided into monocotyledons and dicotyledons based on their seed and leaf characteristics.
