1. Classification of Plants

2. Plant Kingdom Flowering Plants Non-flowering Plants

3. Ferns Mosses Non - flowering Plants Do NOT produce flowers

4. A plant can be divided into 3 parts

5. Examples of Mosses

6. Moss spores Spore-producing capsule

7. Characteristics of Mosses ● No true roots, No vascular tissues (no transport) ● Simple stems & leaves ● Have rhizoids for anchorage ● Spores from capsules (wind-dispersal) ● Damp terrestrial land ● Simplest plants

8. Fern

9. Fern underground stem root A leaf (finely divided into small parts)

10. spore-producing organs

11. Characteristics of Ferns ● roots, feathery leaves & underground stems ● have vascular tissues (transport & support) ● Damp & shady places ● Spore-producing organ on the underside of leaves (reproduction)

12.  2 groups Gymnosperms Angiosperms ●  roots, stems, leaves ●  vascular tissues (transport) ●  flowers, fruits (contain seeds) Flowering Plants

13. Pine tree Gymnosperms

14. needle-shaped leaves

15. Male cones (in clusters) Female cones (scattered)

16. Characteristics of Gymnosperms ● roots, woody stems ● needle-shaped leaves ● tall evergreen trees ● cones with reproductive structures ● dry places ● vascular tissues (transport) ● naked seeds in female cones.

17. Angiosperms ● Highly developed ● Flowering Plants ● Seeds inside ovary 2 TYPES ● MONOCOTYLEDONS ● DICOTYLEDONS

18. Monocotyledons Parallel veins

19. Characteristics of Monocotyledons ●  one seed-leaf ● leaves have parallel veins ●  herbaceous plants ●  e.g. grass, maize

20. Dicotyledons Veins in network

21. Characteristics of Dicotyledons ●  two seed-leaves ●  leaves have veins in network ●  e.g. trees, sunflower, rose

22. Plant Classification Non-flowering Plants Flowering Spore-bearing Naked seeds No roots with roots Mosses Ferns Gymnosperms 1 seed-leaf 2 seed-leaves Monocots Dicots Angiosperms
