The plants that do not have
flowers, but usually bear spores
are called Gymnosperms.
Non flowering plants are
usually simpler than flowering
plants.

But because they do not have
flowers, they have to reproduce in
other ways.

Fern, common name for any of a
division of cryptogamous
(spore-producing) plants. The
fern phylum contains about 150
genera; estimates of the number
of species range from 6000 to
15,000. Ferns are found
throughout the world. Most grow
in damp, shady places, although
certain species grow on dry
ground, soil, or rocks. Some
ferns, in fact, grow only in
rocky places—in fissures and
crevices of cliff faces and in

Angiosperm (Latin angi-,
“enclosed”; Greek sperma, “seed”),
common name for the division or
phylum comprising flowering
plants, the dominant form of
plant life. Members of the
division are the source of most of
the food on which humans and
other mammals rely and of
many raw materials and natural
products. Included in the
division are most shrubs and
herbs, most familiar trees except
pines and other conifers, and
specialized plants such as
succulents, parasites, and
aquatic types. Although about
230,000 species are known,
