THE PLANT KINGDOM
Woodstown High SchoolBiology
CARL LINNAEUS BOTANIST (person
who studies plants)
Designed the system used for CLASSIFYING plants
Known as the “Father of Ecology”
SYSTEM of CLASSIFICATION
1. DOMAIN2. KINGDOM3. PHYLUM4. CLASS5. ORDER6. FAMILY7. GENUS8. SPECIES
DOMAINS All living things are GROUPED into
THREE domains.
BACTERIA ARCHAEA EUKARYA (having EUKARYOTIC cells…
plants & animals)
PLANT KINGDOM
VASCULAR Plants that have tube-
like cells used to transport food and water throughout the plant XYLEM---carries water
from roots to stem and leaves
PHLOEM---carries food (sugar)from leaves to roots
NON-VASCULAR Plants that DO NOT have
tube-like cells to transport food and water throughout the plant.
Plants that DO NOT have leaves, stems or roots. They get water through a root-like structure called RHIZOIDS
Plants that grow in damp, shady areas on sides of trees and rocks (MOSS)
FERNS Ferns are a seedless
VASCULAR plant.
Over 12,000 known species of ferns.
Leaves of a fern are called FRONDS
SORI are the cluster of reproductive spores on the under side of the frond
CONIFERS Conifers are
GYMNOSPERMS, they have SEEDS but NO flowers.
Leaves (needle-like) remain GREEN all year
Reproductive organs are found in CONES (pollen & eggs).
Cones produce SEEDS Conifer trees grow large &
tall…used for LUMBER & PAPER
CONES
FLOWERING TREES & PLANTS
Trees & plants that come from SEEDS and have FLOWERs are known as ANGIOSPERM
They have vascular cells for transporting food & water.
Over 250,000 known species
The FLOWER contains the reproductive organs that produce SEEDS.
