Plant Classification and Importance in Agriculture

Angiosperms are also known as non-flowering plants.

Family Poaceae includes perennial ryegrass and cereals like barley.

Plants in Family Fabaceae contain rhizobium which live in the stem.

Family Asteraceae has flower heads that share different receptacles.

Brassicaceae family includes cabbage, kale, and cauliflower as cruciferous vegetables.

Polygonaceous family is commonly known as dock plant and buckwheat.

Family Poaceae consists of dicots rather than monocots.

Creeping buttercup and meadow buttercup are both known for reducing productivity in grasslands.

Nettles from the Urticaceae family are typically eaten by livestock.

The Potato plant from the Solanaceae family has four stamens.

Cow parsley is a common weed in the apiaceous family that produces clusters of green flowers.

A seed can contain an embryo that will develop into either a monocot or a dicot plant depending on the number of cotyledons it produces.

During seed germination, both the plumule and radical grow.

Pollination occurs when the male gamete fuses with the ovary to form a seed.

Seed dispersal can occur through wind, water, and fire.
