Detailed explanation-1: -Flowering plants, or angiosperms, make up about 90% of all living plant species, including most food crops.

Detailed explanation-2: -Today, angiosperms represent nearly 90% of all extant plant species and dominate most of Earth’s terrestrial ecosystems.

Detailed explanation-3: -Taxonomy. The monocots form one of five major lineages of mesangiosperms (core angiosperms), which in themselves form 99.95% of all angiosperms. The monocots and the eudicots, are the largest and most diversified angiosperm radiations accounting for 22.8% and 74.2% of all angiosperm species respectively.

Detailed explanation-4: -Angiosperms are the dominant form of plant life in most terrestrial ecosystems, comprising about 90 percent of all plant species. Most crops and ornamental plants are angiosperms. Their success comes from two innovative structures that protect reproduction from variability in the environment: the flower and the fruit.
