- Angiosperms are flowering plants that produce seeds enclosed within a fruit
- They are the most diverse group of plants, with over 300,000 species
- Angiosperms have specialized reproductive structures, including flowers, which attract pollinators
- They have a vascular system that transports water and nutrients throughout the plant
- Angiosperms have a wide range of adaptations to different environments, including drought tolerance, salt tolerance, and shade tolerance
- They have a variety of growth habits, including trees, shrubs, herbs, and vines
- Angiosperms play a crucial role in ecosystems as primary producers, providing food and habitat for many other organisms.

I. Characteristics of Division Angiospermatophyta (Flowering Plants)
A. Defining Features
- Enclose seeds within an ovary
- Produce flowers with reproductive structures
B. Reproduction
- Double Fertilization: Two sperm cells fertilize the ovule: one fuses with the egg cell to form the zygote, and the other fuses with two polar nuclei to form the endosperm (nutritive tissue)
- Seeds: Mature ovules with protective coats and stored food
C. Flower Structure
- Sepals: Outermost whorl of floral leaves (calyx)
- Petals: Inner whorl of floral leaves (corolla)
- Stamens: Male reproductive structures with anther (pollen-producing region) and filament (stalk)
- Carpel: Female reproductive structure with stigma (pollen-receiving surface), style (stalk), and ovary (ovule-containing chamber)
D. Root System
- Typically have extensive root systems with primary and lateral roots
- May have specialized roots, such as adventitious roots, prop roots, and root hairs
E. Stem Structure
- Vascular system arranged in a central woody cylinder (xylem and phloem) surrounded by a cortex
- Can be herbaceous (soft) or woody (hard)
F. Leaf Structure
- Typically have broad, flat leaves with a single midrib
- May have simple or compound leaves
- Contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis
G. Life Cycle
- Alternation of Generations: Cycle between a diploid sporophyte (adult plant) and haploid gametophyte (germinating seed)
- Pollination: Transfer of pollen from anther to stigma
- Fertilization: Contact between pollen and ovule, leading to germination and development of an embryo
H. Diversity
- Most diverse and widespread plant division
- Includes a wide range of species, from trees to shrubs to herbs
- Occupies a variety of habitats, including forests, grasslands, deserts, and aquatic environments
