Practice and Revision - Classification of Plants
Let us practise and revise what we learned about classification of plants. Plants are classified into groups based on characteristics like r
Core concept
Plants are broadly classified as non-flowering (like ferns and mosses, reproducing via spores) and flowering (reproducing via seeds in flowers).
How it works
Non-vascular plants (like mosses) lack specialised tissues for transporting water, while vascular plants have xylem and phloem for transport.
Why it matters
Flowering plants are further divided into monocots (one seed leaf, like grass) and dicots (two seed leaves, like beans).
Key detail
This classification system helps botanists study plant relationships, evolution, and characteristics systematically.

Quick notes
• Plants: non-flowering (spores) or flowering (seeds).
• Non-flowering examples: ferns, mosses.
• Non-vascular: no transport tissues (mosses).
• Vascular: xylem, phloem for transport.
• Flowering plants: monocots or dicots.
• Monocots: one seed leaf (grass).
• Dicots: two seed leaves (beans).
• Classification helps systematic plant study.
