1. Classification of Plants

2. Plant Kingdom
Non-flowering Plants
Flowering Plants

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

4. A plant can be divided into 3 parts

5. Examples of Mosses

6. Spore-producing capsule
Moss
spores

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

8. Fern

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

10. spore-producing
organs
(circinate)
young leaf

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

12. Gymnosperms
Pine
tree

13. needle-shaped leaves

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

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

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

17. Monocotyledons
Parallel veins

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

19. Dicotyledons
Veins in network

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