2. KINGDOM PLANTAE
Plantae is a taxonomic group that
includes land plants and green
classification of organisms, there
kingdoms according to Robert
Plantae, Fungi, Protista, and
formerly the highest taxonomic
general taxon used in classifying
3. KINGDOM PLANTAE
Plants in this kingdom have a variety of different
characteristics, but all are multicellular, eukaryotic,
photosynthetic organisms that are characterized by
their ability to produce their own food through the
process of photosynthesis.
This group of organisms includes a diverse range of
plants, from algae and mosses to flowering trees and
shrubs. The Kingdom Plantae also includes many crops
and other cultivated plants that are important for human
societies worldwide.
4. GREEN ALGAE
Green algae are a diverse group
of photosynthetic organisms that
produce oxygen and require
sunlight for growth. They are
found in aquatic environments
and can also be found in damp
soil and even on surfaces like
6. GREEN ALGAE
Green algae are important in aquatic food
chains as a source of food for many aquatic
animals. They come in many shapes and
sizes, from single-celled organisms to large,
multicellular seaweeds. Some species of
green algae are often used in scientific
research as model organisms to study various
biological processes.
7. LAND PLANTS
Land plants, also known as
Embryophytes, are a diverse group of
multicellular organisms that live
primarily on land rather than in
aquatic environments. They are
characterized by their ability to
produce their own food through the
process of photosynthesis, in which
they use energy from the sun to
9. PLANT DIVISION
The plant kingdom can be divided into
groups based on plant structures. Plants
with similar structures are grouped
together. In the plant kingdom, these
groups are called divisions.
10. PLANT DIVISION
Cryptogams and phanerogams are
two terms that were traditionally
used to classify plants.
These terms are no longer in common
use, but they can help to understand
the history of plant classification.
11. PLANT DIVISION
CRYPTOGAMS
Cryptogams is a term that was used for groups of plants
that do not have visible flowers or seeds. This group
includes ferns, mosses, and algae. The term comes from
the Greek words kryptos, which means “hidden,” and
gamos, which means “marriage.” Cryptogams reproduce
through spores rather than seeds, which is why their
reproductive structures are often not visible.
12. PLANT DIVISION
PHANEROGAMS
Phanerogams is a term that was used for groups of plants that
have visible flowers and seeds. This group includes flowering
plants and gymnosperms such as pine trees. The term comes
from the Greek words phaneros, which means “visible,” and
gamos, which means “marriage.” Phanerogams reproduce
through seeds rather than spores, which is why their
reproductive structures are often visible.
17. KINGDOM PLANTAE
Plantae are made up into four phylum:
Anthophyta
Coniferophyta,
Filicinophyta
Bryophyta
18. ANTHOPYTA
The distinctive feature of this
group is the flower, a cluster of
highly-specialized leaves which
participate in reproduction. They
characterized by seeds which
and ripen inside an ovary.
19. CONIFEROPHYTA
The members of this group
produce ovules that mature
into seeds. These ovules and
seeds are found on the upper
surfaces of scale structures
which often are clustered into
“cones”.
20. CONIFEROPHYTA
Coniferophyta is made from two Latin and one Greek
root that mean cone (conus); bear (fero); plant
(phyto).
The reference is to plants that bear cones, a common
attribute of most members of this phylum.
21.
22. FILICINOPHYTA
Filicinophyta, better known as ferns, are plants with full-sized roots
and leaves, but instead of having flowers or cones, produce
spores. Ferns are distinguishable by the fact that they do not have
much wood, but are all as wide as they are tall, and have very long,
thin leaves along the entirety of the branches. There are currently
three known living groups of Ferns, and a couple of known extinct
ones. Not all ferns grow on land, some are aquatic or even grown
on other trees. Some Ferns include the Eagle Fern of the Java
Fern.
24. BRYOPHYTA
Bryophyta are mosses. Mosses have leaves, just like other plants, but do
not have roots that gather nutrients, instead having rhizoids, which simply
attach the mosses to a surface. Mosses, just like ferns, produce no seeds
or cones, but instead release spores, in this case which travel by water.
Because of this feature, mosses are limited to growing in very most areas;
however when dried they simply stop growing and reproducing, and survive
for a while during the time they are dried out. This allows mosses to grow
even in places with variable climates. Some mosses include Sphagnum
Moss and White Cushion Moss.

Editor's Notes
It looks like me
Land plants evolved from green algae over 400 million years ago and are considered a critically important group of organisms, supporting almost all life on Earth. Some common examples of land plants include trees, shrubs, grasses, mosses, ferns, and many flowering plants.
