Classification of Plants
Classification of plants or its taxonomy primarily considers differentiation of plant body, tissues involved in the mechanism of transportation, and presence of seeds, among others. The divisions are---
Thallophyte: Includes microorganisms such as fungi, algae, and bacteria. In algae, the cell wall is composed of cellulose, and food is stored in the form of starch.
Bryophyta: These plants grow both on land and in water. Examples – Moss, Liver Warts etc.
Pteridophyte: Flowers and seeds are not present in these plants. Example – Ferns.
Gymnosperm: The seeds remain uncoated, and there is no ovary.
Angiosperm: The seeds are coated and developed within an ovary.
Monocot: In this type of angiosperms, only one cotyledon is present. Also, leaves are parallel-veined, and vascular bundles are scattered. The root system is adventitious. Examples – Wheat, Maize, Rice etc.
Dicot: There are two seed leaves present in dicot angiosperms. Vascular bundles are in a ring and veins are branched. Also, tap roots are present. Examples – Potato, Pea, Banyan etc.
