 Plants
Plants are really important for the planet and for all living
things. Plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen from
their leaves, which humans and other animals need to breathe.
Living things need plants to live - they eat them. Plants help
to clean water too.
CLASSIFICATION OF PLANTS
1. Flowering plants and Non Flowering Plants
2. According to the size and nature of stem- Herbs, Shrubs
and Trees
Flowering plants:
A flowering plant in simple terms is a plant that at some
point during its life cycle produces a flower. A flowering
plant is called an angiosperm. It is important to remember
that the flower is part of the reproduction cycle. All
flowering plants produce seeds.
 Non Flowering Plants:
Nonflowering plants are those that never produce a flower. Some
nonflowering plants still produce seeds; this type of plant is called a
gymnosperm. Conifer trees—pines, for example—are among the
most well-known gymnosperms.
Mosses and ferns are the other two major types of plants that do not
grow flowers. Mosses and ferns reproduce by spores instead of
seeds.
