hi everyone i'm so glad to see you here again on online classroom jay kutio today we are going to look at the classification of plants while plants can be classified into two big groups they are the non-flowering plants and flowering plants okay just like the name suggests plants here non-flowering plants do not produce flowers and flowering plants that produce beautiful flowers non-flowering plants however can be divided or classified into three other groups they are the moss fern and conifer how about flowering plants that can be classified into only two groups which is the monocotyledon and dicotyledon as a start we will look at non-flowering plants first before we look at each group of non-flowering plants jakudio need you to understand two very important words first non-vascular the non-vascular plants are very simple and they are small and they do not have a vascular system whereas vascular plants just like the name say have vascular system what does vascular system do actually it is the system that is in the plant that help them to transport water and food throughout the plant and if the plants are vascular plants it is normally very easy for you to tell what where are the leaves the stems and the roots but not for the non-vascular plants you will see when we look at the example so let's go to the example the first group of non-flowering plants are the moss and the moss actually reproduce by producing spores and also if you look at the picture can you identify which part is the leaf the stem and the root not that easy right so this is what jay gutier mean that the moss are actually non-vascular [Music] how about the fern let's look at the pictures can you see all these little dots behind their leaf those are actually the spores so just like the moss the fern actually reproduce by producing spores but different from the moss it is very easy for you to identify where are the leaves the stem and i'm sure if you pull the fern off the ground it's easy to tell where are the roots so the ferns are vascular next let's look at this beautiful conifers one good example of the conifer will be the christmas tree and they're reproduced by bearing cones if you look at those decorative christmas trees around christmas season you will see the ornaments that actually look like this they are the cones those are the things that conifer use to reproduce and it is easy to tell that conifers are under vascular plants next let's look at flowering plants just like the name suggests flowering plants are plants that produce flowers why is it is it important for them to produce flowers because this flowers will then become fruits and in fruits you can find seeds for example in this pictures you can see the flower of an okra plant or in another name it is the lady's finger okay so this plants the ladies finger plant will produce flowers first and this flower will turn into lady's finger and inside the lady's finger you can find seeds and what is cotyledon what does it do well the cotyledon is actually a place where the seed will store the food and this food will be very important because the seed use them to germinate germinate means they grow okay they grow into a new plant so if these seeds only have one cartilage they are grouped under monocotyledon if this seeds has a pair of cartilage then we group them under dicotyledon there are other things that we need to learn about monocotyledon and dicot 11. let's look at the monocotyledon first so the monocotyledon just like the name saying mono means one only has one cotyledon for example a very good example will be the corn have you ever plucked those coins one by one off the cob and eat them like that i know i have so this is only one cartilage next let's take a look at their plants okay first they'll leave their leaves show parallel veins look at the leaf closely it's like a lot of lines that are parallel to each other how about their stem most of them have non woody stem meaning their stem looks green it is not woody but this is not absolute most of them not all of them okay next look at the root they have fibrous root just like how the pictures show here some example for monocotyledon plants will be the patty and the mace okay it is easy to identify if you would just look at their leaves they have parallel vein leaves now let's proceed to die cut 11 well just like the name say dai means two d two soak two cartilage and one good example will be ground nuts or peanuts if you look at the peanut one peanut can be broken into two cotyledons that's why they are dicartilatin if we look at their plants their leaves have network-like veins it is very different from monochromatility if you look at the veins they look like a net right beautiful beautiful pattern then if we look at their stem different from monocotyledon they have woody stem you actually can see some woody part and they have tap root also very different from mono cartilage what does tab root means it means you can have one very distinguished root the main root and then you have tiny little roots that looks like hair around it but you can see one very distinguished root just like the carrot okay so some examples of dicotyledon plants will be the tomato and durian okay and again one simple way to identify them is by looking at their leaves so that's all from jay gutier in this video the classification of plants is actually a lot more simpler compared to the classification of animals that we look at in the previous videos do you agree so that's all from me i'll see you in the coming videos okay bye [Music] if you have learned something new from this video don't forget to like and subscribe
