NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -They are currently the dominant group of plants in most terrestrial ecosystems and are easy to recognize since they produce flowers (Figure 9.1. 1). Angiosperms are the most diverse group of plants, with 416 families and approximately 352, 000 species (APG, 2016).

Detailed explanation-2: -And that would have given the angiosperms the energy to push competitors like conifers out of the canopy around 150 million years ago, making angiosperms the most productive group of land plants in the world. Flowers play a role in the diversification, the team says, but leaf veins help these plants become so abundant.

Detailed explanation-3: -Flowering plants, or angiosperms, make up about 90% of all living plant species, including most food crops.

Detailed explanation-4: -The most diverse, successful, and familiar group of plants today are the: angiosperms.

Detailed explanation-5: -Flowering plants (angiosperms) are by far the largest, most diverse, and most important group of land plants, with over 250, 000 species and a dominating presence in most terrestrial ecosystems. Understanding the origin and early diversification of angiosperms has posed a long-standing botanical challenge [1].
