They are the most diverse group of plants, with over 400,000 species.

Distinction from Gymnosperms

Angiosperms are distinguished from gymnosperms by the presence of flowers, fruits, and seeds enclosed in an ovary.

Explosive Diversification in the Cretaceous Period

Angiosperms diversified explosively in the Cretaceous period due to the development of flowers, which enabled them to attract pollinators and increase their reproductive success.

Significance in Agriculture

Angiosperms are crucial for agriculture, as they provide food, fiber, and other essential products for human life.
Many crops, such as rice, wheat, and corn, are angiosperms.
Angiosperms are also the source of many medicines, dyes, and other valuable products.
