 FLOWERING PLANTS:
1. Flowers: Flowering plants produce flowers as part of their reproductive process. These flowers come in a wide variety of shapes, colors, and sizes.

2. Reproductive structures: Flowering plants have specialized reproductive structures called stamens and pistils, which are involved in the production of seeds.

3. Brightly colored flowers: These plants develop brightly colored flowers from mature leaves, which help attract pollinators.

4. Seasonal growth: Flowering plants have the ability to grow and bloom in different seasons, adapting to changing environmental conditions.

5. Pollinator attraction: They have evolved to attract pollinators, including bees, birds, and butterflies, which help in the process of pollination and reproduction.
 SHRUBS:
Sure, here are the simple characteristics of shrubs:
- Small, woody plants
- Typically grow to a height of 1-10 feet
- Have multiple stems close to the ground
- Can have rounded or sprawling growth habits
- Have thick or thin bark
- Can have deciduous or evergreen foliage
- Some shrubs flower and bear fruit or nuts, while others do not
- Thrive in various conditions and are popular for landscaping and gardening
 CACTI:
1. Succulent plants known for their water storage abilities
2. Found in the Americas, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions
3. Spiny stems and often leafless
4. Ribbed or segmented stems for water storage
5. Designed to store water in fleshy stems, leaves, and roots
6. Varied colors and sizes, from small fruit-producing cacti to large ones over 20 feet tall
7. Adapted to drought conditions
8. Ideal as low-maintenance houseplants

1. Tall plants with a single stem
2. Supporting branches and leaves
3. Vital role in the ecosystem

TREES:
7. Both deciduous and evergreen varieties
8. Deciduous trees lose their leaves in autumn to conserve water
9. Evergreen trees retain their leaves all year
10. Various types, including hardwood and softwood
11. Unique properties and uses for hardwood and softwood trees

5. Common types include jade plants, cacti, agave, and echeveria.
 WATER PLANTS:
1.Submerge their roots, float on the surface, or anchor in shallow
water.
2. Over 10,000 species found worldwide.

5. Include popular examples like ginger, turmeric, garlic, ginseng, and chamomile.
 CLIMBERS/VINES:
1. Climbing: Vines have a natural ability to climb and support themselves along surfaces through the use of tendrils, twining
stems, or aerial rootlets.
2. Flexible stems: Vines often have flexible and often twining stems that allow them to bend and wrap around structures for
support.
3. Rapid growth: Many vines are known for their rapid growth and can quickly cover large areas if left unchecked.
4. Varied habitat: Vines can be found in a wide range of habitats, including forests, deserts, and tropical regions.
5. Adaptability: Vines have the ability to adapt to different conditions and can thrive in various environmental settings.
