Expert Solution
Step 1

The plants are multicellular eukaryotes that belong to the Plantae kingdom. The plants are photosynthetic that can able to synthesis their own food. The plants can be divided into two groups such are angiosperms and gymnosperms.

Step 2

Angiosperms:

  • The angiosperms are flowering plants that produce flowers, fruits, and seeds that are enclosed in an ovary.
  • The angiosperms can produce both monocotyledon and di-cotyledons.
  • The angiosperms have flat leaves, triploid vascular tissues, and their stems are hardwood.
  • The angiosperms can reproduce both unisexual and bisexual.
  • The flowers of the angiosperms have both male and female gametes in them.
  • The pollination occurs by wind, animals, and insects when the gametes are dispersed.
  • After fertilization occurs by fusion of male and female gametes and develops into a fruit.
  • The angiosperms have two integuments.
