Groups of Plants

Plants can be divided into bigger groups and smaller groups.

Plants that don't produce seeds

Moss and fern are examples of plants that do not produce seeds.
Plants that do not produce seeds can be grouped according to whether they have:
- Roots.
- Stems.
- Leaves.

Plants with exposed seeds

Plants with exposed seeds are called 'gymnosperms'.
They are woody plants that produce ‘naked seeds’ or seeds contained in cones.
Some examples are conifers, pine, fir and cedar trees.

Plants with seeds that are not exposed

Plants with seeds that are not exposed are called 'angiosperms'.
In these plants, the seeds are covered in an ovary.
They are flowering plants.
