Classification of Plants

Flowering & Non-Flowering Plants

➤ Flowering Plants
                           -produce flower for reproduction
                       flower → fruits and seeds → new plants                         
                      
                           - based on the seeds they produce, flowering plants can be further divided                         into two groups :
                                                Ⅰ. monocotyledons
                                               Ⅱ. dicotyledons 

✱ Examples of monocotyledons plants :

 Banana Trees

                                                  Corn Tree

  
Paddy Tree










✱ Examples of dicotyledons plants :
 

  
Hibiscus Tree

                                                                           
                                                               Rambutan Tree
















➤ Non-Flowering Plants 
     Further divided to conifers, ferns, mosses, and algae 

ⅰ) Conifers : - reproduce by seeds produced in cones

                         - have needle ( like leaves )
                         - examples : pine 






ⅱ) Ferns : - reproduced by spores on the underside of leaves
                     - example : Bird's nest fern

ⅲ) Mosses : - reproduced by spores produced in capsules
                         - example : Moss

ⅳ) Algae : -very simple plants
                     - no proper roots, stems, leaves
                     - example : Seaweed
