Classification of plants

Plants are classified into two main groups: flowering plants (spermatophytes) and non-flowering plants.

Flowering plants are a numerous and diverse plant group. They reproduce through flowers and seeds.

Non-flowering plants are a smaller plant group. Algae, mosses and ferns are all examples of non-flowering plants. They have a simple structure and do not have flowers or seeds. Instead, they reproduce through spores.
