Plants reproduce asexually through grafting, cuttings, cloning, tissue culture and from their roots. • Plants can also reproduce sexually. The product of sexual reproduction in plants is a seed. • Plants are classified (or organized) based on the type of seeds they produce.
Types of Plants (based on their seeds) • Angiosperms are flowering plants. The seeds of angiosperms form inside the flower. Example: tulips and lilies. • Gymnosperms do not have flowers. They produce seeds in cones. Example: pine trees and oak trees • Some plants don’t produce seeds at all but they still reproduce sexually. Example: ferns and mosses
Angiosperms • All flowers function as the plant’s reproductive organ. • The female reproductive organ is the pistil and the male is the stamen. • Pollen from anthers must reach the stigma of the pistil before a seed can develop – this is called pollination. • Some plants have both male and female reproductive organs therefore they are able to self-pollinate.
