1. Classification of Plants

2. Plant Kingdom Flowering Plants Non-flowering Plants

3.  3 groups Ferns Mosses Gymnosperms 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 (circinate) young leaf

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. Pine tree Gymnosperms

13. needle-shaped leaves

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

15. 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

16.  2 groups Monocotyledons Dicotyledons  roots, stems, leaves  vascular tissues (transport)  flowers, fruits (contain seeds) Flowering Plants

17. Monocotyledons Parallel veins

19. Dicotyledons Veins in network

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

21. 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
