Question:
What are the major divisions in the Plantae? What is the basis for these divisions?
Answer:
Major division in kingdom Plantae are:
- Thallophyta
- Bryophyta
- Pteridophyta
- Gymnosperms
- Angiosperms
The division is based on the following features:
➊ The first level of classification among plants depends on whether plant body is well differentiated or not.
➋ The next level of classification is based on whether the differentiated body has special vascular tissues (xylem and phloem) for the transport of water and other substances.
➌ Further classification is based on the ability to bear seeds and
➍ Further it is classified whether the seeds are naked or enclosed within fruits.
