DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -What are angiosperms? 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Like gymnosperms, angiosperms are seed-producing plants. They are distinguished from gymnosperms by characteristics including flowers, endosperm within their seeds, and the production of fruits that contain the seeds.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants that produce flowers and bear fruits and seeds are known as angiosperms. About 80% of plant species belong to angiosperms. The word “Angiosperm” is derived from the Greek words angeion, which means “case” and sperma, which means “seed”. Angiosperms are so called because these plants have covered seeds.

Detailed explanation-4: -Angiosperms, or the flowering plants, are without doubt the most diverse group of modern plants. There may be over 290, 000 species of angiosperms alive today, and they are thought to make up about 90% of the world’s living embryophyte species (see here). Angiosperms are highly variable in form.
