Classification of plants
Plants are divided into two main groups: non-flowering plants and flowering plants. Non-flowering plants include mosses, ferns, and gymnosperms. Mosses are the simplest plants and have no roots or vascular tissue, ferns have roots and vascular tissue but reproduce via spores, and gymnosperms are tall trees that bear cones with naked seeds. Flowering plants are further divided into monocots and dicots based on the number of seed leaves and the structure of their leaves.

- 7. Characteristics of Mosses Simplestplants No true roots, No vascular tissues (no transport) Simple stems & leaves Have rhizoids for anchorage Spores from capsules (wind-dispersal) Damp terrestrial land
- 9. A leaf (finely dividedinto small parts) underground stem root
- 11. Characteristics of Ferns roots,feathery leaves & underground stems have vascular tissues (transport & support) Spore-producing organ on the underside of leaves (reproduction) Damp & shady places
- 13.
- 14. Male cones (in clusters) Femalecones (scattered)
- 15. Characteristics of Gymnosperms tallevergreen trees roots, woody stems needle-shaped leaves vascular tissues (transport) cones with reproductive structures naked seeds in female cones dry places
- 16. 2 groups Flowering Plants Monocotyledons Dicotyledons roots, stems,leaves vascular tissues (transport) flowers, fruits (contain seeds)
