Your Ad Here	Morphology A majority of plants that we see around us belong to the group known as flowering plants or angiosperms. They are named so because their seeds are enclosed in a definite organ called ovary. The reasons for the widespread dominance of angiosperm are (a) A well developed vascular system. (b) Various means of pollination. (c) Dominant sporophyte.
(d) Effective means of dispersal. (e) Development of ovules within ovary. (f) Evolution of flower. Angiosperms are divided into two sub-groups 1. Dicotyledons and 2. Monocotyledons. The dicots have two cotyledons in seed. They have leaves with network of veins, vascular bundles in a ring in stem, roots having definite number of vascular bundles having generally pentamorous flower e.g. sweet pea, cotton plant etc.
The monocots on the other hand have a single cotyledon in seed. Their leaves show parallel venation. Vascular bundles lie scattered in stem and their number in much in roots. They have generally trimerous flower e.g. onion, wheat, rice etc. Depending upon their life-span plants are classified as-annuals, biennials and perennials. Annuals complete their life cycle in a single growing season (e.g. rice, wheat, sunflower etc.). Biennials complete their life cycle in two growing seasons. First season is of vegetative growth and the second one is of reproductive growth (e.g. radish, carrot, turnip etc.). Perennials live for many years. (e.g. mango, apple, orange etc.)	Your Ad Here
The plant body of an angiosperm consists of an axis, at one end it bears underground root system and at other, aerial shoot system. The shoot system bears branches, leaves, flowers and fruits. Root, leaves and branches constitute the vegetative part while flowers, fruits, and seeds form reproductive parts of the plant.
