This powerpoint contains full detailed theory on classification of plants. it is very helpful for class 9 and class 11 students studying in CBSE Board.

1. Classification of Plants

2. Plant Kingdom
Non-flowering
Plants
Flowering
Plants

3. 3 groups
Non - flowering Plants
Mosses
Ferns
Gymnosperms
Do NOT produce flowers

4. A plant can be divided into 3 parts

5. Examples of Mosses

6. Spore-producing capsule
spores

7. 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

9. A leaf (finely
divided into
small parts)
underground
stem
root

11. Characteristics of Ferns
roots, feathery leaves & underground stems
have vascular tissues (transport & support)
Spore-producing organ on the underside of
leaves (reproduction)
Damp & shady places

13. needle-shaped leaves

14. Male cones
(in clusters)
Female cones
(scattered)

15. 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

16. 2 groups
Flowering
Plants
Monocotyledons
Dicotyledons
roots, stems, leaves
vascular tissues (transport)
flowers, fruits (contain seeds)

17. Monocotyledons
Parallel veins

18. Characteristics of Monocotyledons
one seed-leaf
leaves have parallel veins
herbaceous plants
e.g. grass, maize

19. Dicotyledons
Veins in network

20. Characteristics of Dicotyledons
two seed-leaves
leaves have veins in network
e.g. trees, sunflower, rose

21. Plant Classification
Plants
Non-flowering
Sporebearing
No
roots
Mosses
with
roots
Ferns
Naked
seeds
Gymnosperms
Flowering
1 seedleaf
Monocots
2 seedleaves
Dicots
