How Are Plants Classified?

Jose, there are two main ways in which plants may be classified. Sometimes, they are classified according to their size and complexity. There are the bryophytes which are small in size and have structures that resemble (and perform the functions of) leaves, stems and roots. Then, there are deseminated byspores plants like liverworts and mosses. The most commonly known are the vascular plants. These have fully developed leaves, stems and root systems. These are further divided into two sub categories: Seedless (e.g. Ferns) and seed plants. Seed plants further contain gymnosperms which are plants that do not flower but usually have pines (e.g. Pines and firs) and angiosperms which are flowering plants whose seeds are enclosed within the fruit. Angiosperms may be either dicotyledons or monocotyledons. From these types, the botanists derive 12 divisions that are then divided into classes followed by orders. Orders are divided into families into genera (singular: Genus) and finally into species.
The second way to classify plants is by the binomial system developed by Carolus Linneaus. This contains a plant's name. The name has two parts to it (that's is why it is called 'binomial'): The genus followed by the species. Both these names are Latin (or Latinized). For example, the botanical name for tomato is Solanum lycopersicum; Solanum being the genus and lycopersicum its species name.

They can be by 2 way 1: Colors 2: Fruits

They can be sorted by date & rating
