Modes of Reproduction in Plants

Like other organisms, plants can also reproduce using different ways. In the previous lesson, you learned about how plants undergo sexual reproduction.

The previous lesson provides you the understanding about flowers as reproductive organ of fruit-bearing plants to produce seeds to grow new plants. In general, plants are classified into two major groups, flowering and non-flowering plants. 

Flowering plants are those that have an obvious flower as accessory organ. In botany (branch of science that deals with the study of plants), they are called as ‘angiosperms’.

Plants that belong to angiosperm family reproduce by sexually by means of their flowers. The presence of flowers may give clue that the plant produce seeds that mature within the fruits. 

Observe your surrounding. List down the plants that possess the given description on the next slide of monocot and dicot.

There are nonflowering plants that do not produce flowers and seeds. There are plants that produce spores . There are plants where seeds are not developed inside the parts of the flowers .

In this activity, try to re arranged the jumbled letters to know these plants. 

Based on the given description, identify the classification of the plants.

Create herbarium scrapbook.

A herbarium is an album or scrapbook of compressed flowering non flowering plants. It may contain all parts or some parts of plants.
