Sorting Plants
Scientists sort plants in many different ways. You can visit the StudyJams links below to find out about many of the various plants classifications.
- Plants with seeds
- Gymnosperms: seeds in cones
- Angiosperms: seeds in fruit
- Plants reproduce with flowers
- Plants without seeds (Vascular & Non-Vascular)
- Mosses, ferns and their spores
- Plant adaptations (This may not actually be a way that plants are sorted, but it is still interesting.)
