The science of biological classification.

Rules for writing scientific names, keeping them standardized and avoiding confusion.

A division of seedless vascular plants, including quillworts, club mosses, and spike mosses.

Early seedless vascular plants considered the most primitive.

A division of seedless vascular plants, including horsetails, whisk ferns, and ferns.

Seedless vascular plants with jointed stems.

Seedless vascular plants that lack both roots and leaves.

Plants that don't produce seeds but have vascular tissue for transporting water and nutrients.

Plant tissue responsible for transporting water and nutrients throughout the plant.

A taxonomic rank in the classification of living organisms.

A division of seed plants characterized by large compound leaves, cones at the trunk end, and a palm-tree-like appearance.

A division of seed plants characterized by fan-shaped leaves with evenly forking veins, similar reproductive cycles to conifers, and fleshy covering around edible seeds.

A division of seed plants consisting of three genera (Ephedra, Gnetum, and Welwitschia) with unique adaptations for their environments.

A genus of Gnetophyta plants, often found in deserts, with small stems and scale-like leaves.

A genus of Gnetophyta plants characterized by a single trunk and two enormous, strap-like leaves, found in deserts of southwest Africa.

Flowering seed plants that produce seeds encased within protective ovaries, also known as flowering plants.

The most primitive flowering plants, not belonging to monocots or eudicots, but with characteristics of both.

The water lily has a notched, floating leaf, while the lotus has a round leaf that hovers above the water.

Magnoliids are flowering plants with two cotyledons, netted-veined leaves, flower parts in multiples of threes, scattered vascular bundles, a tap root system, and pollen with one opening.

Monocots are flowering plants with one cotyledon, parallel-veined leaves, flower parts in multiples of threes, scattered vascular bundles, no cambium, a fibrous root system, and pollen with one opening.

A cotyledon is a seed leaf that provides nourishment to the developing embryo of a plant.

Leaves with veins running parallel to each other, typical of monocots.

Leaves with veins forming a network pattern, typical of magnoliids.

A root system with a single main root that grows downwards, typical of magnoliids.

A root system with many thin roots that spread out, typical of monocots.
