Detailed explanation-1: -The word angiosperm is derived from Greek, which translates to a “container.” As the name suggests, angiosperms are vascular plants which bear seeds in fruits or mature ovaries. Angiosperm forms flower that carries reproductive organs and fruits.
Detailed explanation-2: -Flowering plants, or angiosperms, evolved to have vascular tissue, seeds, and flowers. Examples of angiosperms include magnolia trees, roses, tulips, and tomatoes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Angiosperms, also called flowering plants, have seeds that are enclosed within an ovary (usually a fruit), while gymnosperms have no flowers or fruits, and have unenclosed or “naked” seeds on the surface of scales or leaves. Gymnosperm seeds are often configured as cones.
Detailed explanation-4: -This group is usually referred to as angiosperms because, as their name implies, their seeds are enclosed in a carpel (in a vessel). The carpel is the primary feature that distinguishes angiosperms from gymnosperms. Angiosperms live in all terrestrial and aquatic habitats on earth.
