plant classification

Classifying PlantsBy Pete

IntroductionPlants are a huge part of our life, so it is important for us to know a lot about them.It’s also as important to know what type of plants there are. In this PowerPoint I’ll be telling you about Angiosperms all the way to Bryophytes so get ready to learn about plants.

What are plant familiesThere are many plant families, many of these are or have subfamilies, for example Embryophytes have a sub family called bryophytes

AngiospermsAngiosperms or Flowering plants are the most diverse group of land plants. Angiosperms are seed-producing plants. There are 352,000 species in 453 families

GymnospermsGymnosperms are also a seed-producing group of plants unlike angiosperms they do not have any flowers or any protective system. The seeds develop either on the surface of scales or leaves. Some type of Gymnosperms include conifers and cycads.

Epiphytes

An Epiphyte is a plant that grows on another plant or object, such as a tree or rock. It gets moisture and nutrients from the air and debris accumulating around it

EmbryophytesEmbryophytes are a group of land plants, they include liverworts, hornworts and vascular plants. Bryophytes are a group of Embryophytes. Bryophytes include liverworts and hornworts.

ConclusionWell now that I’m done I hope I’ve answered some of your questions, I certainly know that I’ve answered mine. I’m just going to leave you with one question I had from the very start:

What family are plants that have flowers from?
