Plants can be classified into several groups based on their structure and physiology. There are two major groups: non-vascular plants which lack vascular tissues for transporting water and nutrients, and vascular plants which have vascular bundles. Vascular plants are further divided into seed-bearing plants and spore-bearing plants. Seed-bearing plants include gymnosperms which produce naked seeds, and angiosperms which have seeds enclosed in ovaries. Angiosperms are divided into dicots and monocots. Plants can also be classified based on their life cycle as annuals, biennials, or perennials.

2. CLASSIFICATION OF PLANTS
INTO GROUPS
Plants can be classified into several groups. Plants can
be grouped according to the structure of their roots,
stem, leaves, flower & seeds. Plants are classified in
two major groups : non-vascular & vascular plants.

3. DESCRIPTION OF NON-VASCULAR &
VASCULAR PLANTS
•Lacks vascular tissues.
NON- •Does not have vascular bundles for
VASCULARPLANTS transporting food &water.
•They are called bryophytes.
•Have vascular tissues.
•Does have vascular bundles for
VASCULAR PLANTS conducting food &water.
•They are called tracheophytes.

4. Non-vascular plants have 3 kinds.
They are mosses, liverworts,&
hornworts.
mosses liverworts hornworts

5. DESCRIPTION OF MOSSES, LIVERWORTS
& HORNWORTS
Mosses are Liverworts are so Hornworts have a
bryophytes that called because their simple &
grow alone on the thallus looks like the undifferentiated
ground. They are liver’s lobes. Unlike thallus & a complex
erect w/ short leafy mosses, liverworts spore-bearing
stems & are lie horizontally on structure.
anchored to the the ground.
ground by rhizoids.

6. Vascular plants have 2 kinds. They are
spore-bearing & seed-bearing plants.
spore-bearing plants seed-bearing plants

7. DESCRIPTION OF SEED-BEARING &
SPORE-BEARING
• It constitutes the other group of
Seed-bearing tracheophytes. About 95% of
tracheophytes are seed-bearing.
plants
• Their reproductive structures
Spore-bearing are called spores located in
specialized structures called
plants sporangia.

8. Seed-bearing plants are divided into two
distinct groups of tracheophytes, the
gymnosperms & the angiosperms.
SEED-
BEARING
GYNOSPERMS ANGIOSPERMS

9. DESCRIPTION OF GYMNOSPERMS
• They produce naked seeds.
• Their seeds are not enclosed in a ovary.
• Their seeds are enclosed in woody
structures called cones or strobili.
• They are called conifers because they
GYMNOSPERMS produce cones.
• In most gymnosperm, there is a dominant
main stem w/ conspicuously smaller
branches.
• Their leaves are covered with thick layer
of cuticle.

10. EXAMPLES OF GYMNOSPERMS
PINE TREE SPRUCES
HEMLOCK FIRS

11. DESCRIPTION OF ANGIOSPERMS
• Angiosperm are the flowering plants.
• They produce seeds that are enclosed in a
ovary.
• Fruit trees, bushes & vegetables belong to
ANGIOSPERMS this group.

12. EXAMPLES OF ANGIOSPERMS
FRUIT
TREES BUSHES
VEGETABLES

13. Angiosperms are divided into two
subclasses – the dicotyledons &
monocotyledons.
ANGIOSPERM
DICOT MONOCOT

monocot & dicot.

2. No. of seed leaf in the seeds 1 2
3. Presence of cambium tissue Absent Present
4. Stem growth No secondary growth With secondary

these numbers multiples of these
numbers

16. THE OTHER WAY OF GROUPING SEED
PLANTS IS ACCORDING TO THE LENGTH OF THEIR GROWING
SEASONS
PLANTS
ANNUALS BIENNIALS
PERENNIALS

17. DESCRIPTION OF ANNUALS
ANNUALS
These are plants that grow and produce flowers,
fruits and seeds in one season and then die.
Most vegetable crops are annuals

18. EXAMPLES OF ANNUALS
BEANS TOMATOES
PEAS

19. DESCRIPTION OF BIENNIALS
BIENNIALS
These are plants that take two years to
complete their cycle. The plants grow and
develop in a year’s time.
For its 2nd year, they produce flowers, fruits and
seeds and afterwards die.

20. EXAMPLES OF BIENNIALS
BEETS CARROTS
TURNIPS

21. DESCRIPTION OF PERENNIALS
PERENNIALS
These plants lived for more than 2 years. Their
life cycle – growth of flower, fruit and seed
bearing activities continuously goes on.
Most of trees and many grasses belong to this
group.

22. EXAMPLES OF PERENNIALS
TREES GRASSES
DAYLILIES
