Detailed explanation-1: -Angiosperms are plants that produce flowers and bear their seeds in fruits. They are the largest and most diverse group within the kingdom Plantae, with about 300, 000 species. Angiosperms represent approximately 80 percent of all known living green plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -Angiosperms have developed flowers and fruit as ways to attract pollinators and protect their seeds, respectively. Flowers have a wide array of colors, shapes, and smells, all of which are for the purpose of attracting pollinators. Once the egg is fertilized, it grows into a seed that is protected by a fleshy fruit.

Detailed explanation-3: -Angiosperms are plants that produce flowers and fruit. Angiosperms can be self-pollinated, meaning pollen falls on the stigma of the same flower, or cross-fertilized, during which pollen from one flower travels to a stigma of a flower on another plant.

Detailed explanation-4: -Angiosperms are vascular plants. They have stems, roots, and leaves. Unlike gymnosperms such as conifers and cycads, angiosperm’s seeds are found in a flower. Angiosperm eggs are fertilized and develop into a seed in an ovary that is usually in a flower.

Detailed explanation-5: -The term “angiosperms” is derived from two Greek words: angio, which means “covered, ” and sperma, which means “seed.” The seeds grow inside an organ, which is then transformed into a fruit. Because of the presence of flowers, they are often known as flowering plants.
