MAJOR CLASSIFICATION

OF PLANTS

Prepared by:Caridad A.Quiban

1.Flowering plants( Angiosperm)
• Have roots, stems , leaves , and
flowers.
• They form seeds which come from
flowers.
• Seeds are covered by a “seed coat”
• They have vascular or transport system
• --it is used for carrying food and water.
It is composed of tiny tubes that run
through the plant.
• These carry nutrients and water to the
plant.
2.CONE BEARING-
(GYNOSPERM)(CONIFERS)
• They are plants that produces
cones.
• They have well developed roots,
stems and needle-shaped leaves.
• They do not bear flowers.
• Their seeds do not have coverings.
• They have naked seed. They have
both male and female cones.
3.Ferns

• They have roots, leaves and

stems.
• Their leaves are popularly known
as fronds.
• FRONDS-an often large, finely
divided leaf, especially as applied
to the ferns and certain palms.
4.MOSSES( Bryophytes)

• They are simple green plants.

• They attach themselves to damp
rocks.
• They have no xylem and phloem.
• Bryon—moss
• Python--plant

A.Flowering Plants
Classification of Plants as to their
number
. of seeds.
(Seed-Producing Plants)
1.Monocotyledon(Monocot)
--They have one cotyledons
(seeds).
2.Dicotyledon(Dicot)
-- they two cotyledons (seeds)
B.Non-Flowering Plants
1.Those without true stems,leaves
and roots like the mosses
2.Those with vascular systems,
--and they are sub-divided into
plants without cones like the ferns
and those with cones or the cone
bearing plants like the pine trees or
the gymnosperms.
