    There are many different types of plants that are classified in various ways. Plants are divided into two main groups - those with seeds like flowering plants, conifers, and cycads, and those without seeds such as ferns, mosses and algae. Seed-bearing plants produce fruits or cones containing seeds, while non-seed plants reproduce through spores. Plants are also classified based on their vascular systems, with non-vascular plants like algae being more primitive and vascular plants having more complex transport tissues. The article discusses the different types of common plants like shrubs and ferns.

    Different Types of Plants

    There are different types of plants all around us, and most of us recognize many kinds of
    plants that flower, grow in our gardens, or that we can eat. There is a vast range in the
    types of plants that grow in the world. Plants such as algae, moss, and ferns are examples
    of flowerless plants that thrive in damp and wet conditions. Other kinds of plants such as
    flowering plants and trees grow in all sorts of conditions and are essential for living.

    All kinds of plants belong to the kingdom Plantae. They are divided into two groups
    depending on whether they are seed-bearing plants or plants without seeds. Plants are
    also classified by their genera, families, and species. This type of plant classification
    allows for easy identification of plants and makes them easier to study.
    Plants classifications also depends on their vascular system. Non-vascular plants such as
    algae are primitive plants or in a lower class of plants and have simple tissue systems to
    transport water internally. Vascular plants such as shrubs, trees, herbs, and flowering
    plants have complex vascular tissue to transport fluid and nutrients internally.

    In this article, you will learn about the many different kinds of plants in the world. You will
    also see examples of shrubs, flowering plants, ferns, and many other types of common
    plants.

    The Main Kinds of Plants


    All types of plants are classified by two main groups: plants without seeds and plants with
    seeds.

    Plants without seeds are algae, mosses, ferns, and liverworts. These unique plant types
    produce spores that are distributed by the wind. For example, if you look on the
    underneath of fern leaves, you will notice sporangia which are tiny structures containing
    spores.

    Plants with seeds are all kinds of flowering plants, cycads (palm-like plants with
    cones), conifers (such as spruce, firs, pines, junipers and cedars), and ginko.
    Flowering plants produce seeds that are protected within their fruit. These fruits can
    be soft fruits such as apples, oranges, or berries, or they can be hard like all types of nuts.
    Plants with cones, mostly evergreen trees, are another kind of vascular plants with seeds.
