Flowering Plants
Angiosperms are flowering plants that have seeds
enclosed within fruits. The term angiosperm means
“enclosed seed” or “covered seed.” Seeds within
a fruit are protected by the fruit to allow for
dispersal.Most of them are:

Vascular
Reproduce by seeds
Have root,stem and leaves.
90% species of plants on the earth are angiosperm.
Classification of Flowering plants
Angiosperms (flowering plants) can be divided
into two categories, Monocotyledons (monocots) and
Dicotyledons (dicots).

Conifers

Conifers are Gymnosperms.
They are not flowering plants.

They are cone-bearing seed plants with vascular tissue.


All living conifers are woody plants, and most are trees.
Conifers
Conifers belong to the
gymnosperms, including those
trees whose seeds are not
enclosed inside a fruit.
Gymnosperm means 'naked
seed’.
They are known as trees that
have needles instead of leaves.
Most of them are evergreens,
meaning they don't lose their
needles in the winter and they
stay green all year round.
And most importantly, conifers
produce pinecones. They
produce seeds inside the cones.
