What are the differences? Vascular Plants Non Vascular Plants Has roots Has stems Has leaves Has vascular bundles Can transport water Larger in size Is better able to store water in cells No roots No stems No leaves No vascular bundles Are unable to transport water Smaller in size Must live in damp conditions
Plant Kingdom Non-flowering Plants Flowering Plants
.3 groups Non - flowering Plants Mosses Ferns Gymnosperms Do NOT produce flowers
Spore-producing capsule Moss spores
Characteristics of Mosses .Simplest plants .No true roots, No vascular tissues (no transport) .Simple stems & leaves .Have rhizoids for anchorage .Spores from capsules (wind-dispersal) .Damp terrestrial land
Fern A leaf (finely divided into small parts) underground stem root
spore-producing organs (circinate) young leaf
Characteristics of Ferns .roots, feathery leaves & underground stems .have vascular tissues (transport & support) .Spore-producing organon the underside of leaves (reproduction) .Damp & shady places
Gymnosperms Pine tree
Male cones (in clusters) Female cones (scattered)
Characteristics of Gymnosperms .tall evergreen trees .roots, woody stems .needle-shaped leaves .vascular tissues (transport) .cones with reproductive structures .naked seeds in female cones .dry places
Flowering Plants .2 groups Monocotyledons Dicotyledons .roots, stems, leaves .vascular tissues (transport) .flowers, fruits (contain seeds)
Monocotyledons Parallel veins
Characteristics of Monocotyledons .one seed-leaf • leaves have parallel veins .herbaceous plants .e.g. grass, maize
Dicotyledons Veins in network
Characteristics of Dicotyledons . two seed-leaves . leaves have veins in network . e.g. trees, sunflower, rose
