Classification of plants

There are four important different groups of plants.

Thallus Plants, or Thallophytes, are the lowest and simplest of all plants. The group includes the one-celled bacteria, the algae, and the fungi, like the molds that are often seen growing on bread and cheese. Bacteria can only be seen with the microscope, but some of the seaweeds are hundreds of feet long.

Another group of relatively simple plants includes the mosses, lichens and liverwords that are found in forests. Moss Plants, or Bryophytes, have no true roots or stems. Instead of leaves they have green, leaflike scales. Most plants belonging to this division are quite small.

A third group of plants includes the ferns, quillworts, and club mosses. They are Fernlike Plants or Pteridophytes. These plants have neither flowers nor seeds, but they are divided into distinct parts, including roots, stems and leaves.

Most of the plants we know belong to the group of plants called Seed Plants or Spermatophytes. They have the most complex structures of all plants. These are the only plants that have flowers and reproduce by fertilization with pollen. Such plants include our common grasses, vegetables, most trees, shrubs, flowers and many others.
