How are Plants Classified on the Basis of Their Ability to Produce Flowers?

Plants can be classified into two main types based on their ability to produce flowers:

• Flowering Plants (Angiosperms): These plants make flowers and produce seeds inside fruits. They can be big like trees or small like daisies.
• Non-Flowering Plants (Gymnosperms): These plants do not make flowers. They usually have cones that hold their seeds, like pine trees.

Example 1: A rose bush is a flowering plant because it has beautiful flowers that turn into rose hips (fruits) with seeds inside.

Example 2: A fir tree is a non-flowering plant because it makes cones instead of flowers to hold its seeds.

Example 3: A sunflower is a flowering plant because it blooms with bright yellow flowers that attract bees and butterflies.

Fun Fact: Flowering plants help provide food for many animals, while non-flowering plants can be found in colder places where flowers don't grow!
