FERNS (helechos)

PLANTS WITH SEEDS

GYMNOSPERMS

ANGIOSPERMS

MOSSES

Mosses

Mosses are plants without tissues or organs

Mosses

Mosses reproduce by spores which are formed in a capsule

FERNS

Plants with roots, stems and leaves The stem of a fern is called RHIZOME The leaf of a fern is called FROND

Ferns

The ferns reproduce by spores formed in a structure called the SORUS (sp. soro)

GYMNOSPERMS

They are always woody plants .Redwood tree:

Gymnosperms

Gymnosperms

Their flowers are called cones (male and female)
