Bryophyta - Amphibious Plants

Bryophyta are plants that reproduce using flagellated sperm and are typically found in moist environments. They are limited by their lack of vascular cells and rely on diffusion for nutrient transport.

Gymnosperm - Naked Seeds

Gymnosperms are plants with naked seeds that are not enclosed within an ovary. They are often called "conifers" and include trees like pines.

Angiosperm - Seeds Enclosed in Ovary

Angiosperms are flowering plants with seeds enclosed inside an ovary. This makes them highly adaptable to diverse environments.

Non-vascular Plants

Non-vascular plants are plants that lack a specialized vascular system for transporting water and nutrients. They are often smaller and limited to moist environments.

Vascular Plants

Vascular plants have a specialized vascular system (xylem and phloem) that allows them to transport water, nutrients, and food through specialized tubes throughout their body.

Xylem

Xylem is a type of vascular tissue responsible for transporting water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the leaves. This movement is unidirectional, going up.

Phloem

Phloem is a type of vascular tissue responsible for transporting sugars and other nutrients from leaves to the rest of the plant. This movement can be both upwards and downwards.
