CBSE Class 11th: Plant Kingdom - Classification of Plant Kingdom

In this video we are going the learn the topic classification of the Plant Kingdom.

• The plants have been divided into five classes:

1. Algae
2. Bryophytes
3. Pteridophytes
4. Gymnosperm
5. Angiosperm

• Algae is aquatic in nature
• The example of unicellular algae is Chlamydomonas
• The example of colonial form algae is Volvox
• The example of filamental form algae is Spirogyra
• The plant body of algae is thalloid (a plant body which can not be differentiated into root, stem, and leaf)
• Bryophytes include the various mosses and liverworts that are found commonly growing in moist shaded areas in the hills.
• Bryophytes are known as the amphibians of the plant kingdom because these plants can live in soil but are dependent on water for sexual reproduction
• In bryophytes, Vascular tissue is absent
• The plant body of bryophytes is more differentiated than that of algae
• Body of bryophytes is thallus-like and prostrate or erect, and attached to the substratum
• Pteridophytes are the first teresterial plants
• The vascular tissues are very well developed to absorb the water
• Sporophytic generation is present in pteridophytes that they reproduce by asexual spores
• Gymnosperm includes pinus and cycus, growing in cold conditions
• Gymnosperms are said to be flowering plants as they produce flowers having  naked seeds
• In gymnosperm, ovule is not enclosed in ovary
• Flowers of gymnosperm are called cones
• Angiosperms are the highly eveolved group of plants
• Angiosperms are the flowering plants having seeds which are enclosed within the ovary
• Vascular tissues are well developed
• Angiosperms are divided into monocot plants and dicot plants
