Gymnosperms:
- Pollination method: Gymnosperms are typically pollinated by wind. The male cones produce pollen grains that are carried by the wind and eventually land on the female cones, where the fertilization process occurs.
- Examples of gymnosperms: Conifers (such as pine, spruce, and fir trees), cycads, ginkgoes, and gnetophytes.
Angiosperms:
- Pollination method: Angiosperms have a wide range of pollination methods. They can be pollinated by wind, insects, birds, bats, or other animals. Some angiosperms have evolved specific adaptations to attract pollinators, such as bright colors, sweet scents, or rewards like nectar or pollen.
- Examples of angiosperms: Flowering plants, including grasses, shrubs, trees, and most herbaceous plants.
Non-flowering plants (non-seed plants):
- Non-flowering plants do not produce flowers to reproduce. They reproduce through spores instead of seeds.
- Examples of non-flowering plants: Ferns, mosses, liverworts, and hornworts.
Flowering plants (seed plants):
- Flowering plants, also known as angiosperms, are a type of seed plant that produces flowers as a means of reproduction.
- Examples of flowering plants: Roses, sunflowers, tulips, orchids, apple trees, wheat, and corn.
