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

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.
