Introduction:
most diverse major extant plant group on the planet, with at least 250,000 living species classified in 453 families. They occupy every habitat on Earth except extreme environments such as the highest mountaintops, the regions immediately surrounding the poles, and the deepest oceans. They can be small herbs, parasitic plants, shrubs, vines, lianas, or giant trees. Importance They are crucial for human existence; the vast majority of the world's crops Habitat Medicine Clothings Gives off Oxygen Prevent Erosion Decorative purposes
Characteristics
1) ovules that are enclosed within a carpel, that is, a structure that is made up of an ovary, which encloses the ovules, and the stigma, a structure where pollen germination takes place
2) double fertilization, which leads to the formation of an endosperm (a nutritive tissue within the seed that feeds the developing plant embryo)
3) stamens with two pairs of pollen sacs
4) features of gametophyte structure and development Distribution
They occur abundantly in the shallows of rivers and fresh-water lakes, and, to a lesser extent, in salt lakes and in the sea.
Angiosperms are flowering plants. Many insects, such as bees, wasps,aphids, and small flies use flower nectar as a food source, and in doing so, transfer pollen between plants. The more successful the insects, the more pollination will be assisted. This allows the plants to have a wider distribution, as well as a larger number.

Flowering Plant Diversity
Over 250,000 species of flowering plants have been described, within about 460 families. The most diverse families of flowering plants, in order of number of species, are: Orchidaceae (Orchid family): 25,000 or more species Asteraceae or Compositae (Daisy family): 20,000 species Fabaceae or Leguminosae (Pea family): 17,000 Poaceae or Gramineae (Grass family): 9,000 Rubiaceae (Madder family): 7,000 Euphorbiaceae (Spurge family): 5,000 Malvaceae (Mallow family): 4,300 Cyperaceae (Sedge family): 4,000 Araceae (including aroids subfamily): 3700
