Plants are classified into several categories based on their characteristics and evolutionary relationships. The main classification of plants is as follows:
1. Non-vascular plants: These are plants that do not have specialized tissues for transporting water and nutrients. They include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts.
2. Vascular plants: These are plants that have specialized tissues for transporting water and nutrients. They are further divided into two groups:
a. Seedless vascular plants: These include ferns, horsetails, and clubmosses.
b. Seed plants: These include gymnosperms (such as conifers) and angiosperms (flowering plants).
3. Angiosperms: These are flowering plants that produce seeds enclosed within a fruit. They are further classified into monocots and dicots based on the number of cotyledons (seed leaves) in their seeds.
4. Gymnosperms: These are seed plants that produce seeds not enclosed within a fruit. They include conifers, cycads, and ginkgoes.
5. Other classifications of plants include:
a. Woody plants: Plants with hard, lignified tissues, such as trees and shrubs.
b. Herbaceous plants: Plants with soft, non-woody stems, such as grasses and annual flowers.
c. Succulent plants: Plants with thick, fleshy stems or leaves that store water, such as cacti and succulents.
Overall, the classification of plants is based on their reproductive structures, growth habits, and evolutionary relationships.

Classification of Plants
Division I: Thallophyta (Thallus Plants)
- Non-vascular plants; no true roots, stems, or leaves
- Body is a thallus (flat or filamentous)
- Includes algae, fungi, and lichens
Division II: Bryophyta (Non-Vascular Plants with Embryos)
- Non-vascular plants; lack true roots, stems, and leaves
- Body is a gametophyte (haploid dominant)
- Includes mosses, liverworts, and hornworts
Division III: Pterophyta (Vascular Plants with Spores)
- Vascular plants; have true roots, stems, and leaves
- Reproduce by spores and have a sporophyte (diploid dominant) life stage
- Includes ferns, horsetails, and club mosses
Division IV: Gymnosperms (Naked-Seeded Plants)
- Vascular plants; have true roots, stems, and leaves
- Produce naked seeds (seeds not enclosed in an ovary)
- Includes conifers (e.g., pine, spruce), cycads, and ginkgoes
Division V: Angiosperms (Flowering Plants)
- Vascular plants; have true roots, stems, and leaves
- Produce flowers and enclosed seeds (seeds enclosed in an ovary)
- Largest and most diverse group of plants
- Includes fruits, vegetables, grains, and trees
Subdivisions of Angiosperms:
Class Dicotyledons (Dicots)
- Two seed leaves (cotyledons)
- Veins in leaves form a netlike pattern
- Floral parts usually in multiples of 4 or 5
Class Monocotyledons (Monocots)
- One seed leaf (cotyledon)
- Veins in leaves form parallel lines
- Floral parts usually in multiples of 3
