Phylogenetic Tree
 Family tree that shows the evolutionary relationships thought to exist among groups of organisms.

Vascular tissue
 Type of tissue that transports water and dissolved substances throughout the plant
 Provides support for the plant
 What advantage does a plant have when it has vascular tissue?

Seedless vascular plants

Seedless Non – Vascular
Plants
 No vascular tissue
 No true roots or leaves
 Attached to soil by rhizoids – which absorb water and minerals.
 Produce spores to reproduce

Non – Vascular Plants
 Pioneer plant – one of the 1 st to appear in an environment.
 Phyla: Mosses, Liverwort and hornworts
 These plants don’t have vascular tissue, so what type of habitat must they live in?

Vascular Seed Plants
 Have vascular tissue and reproduce with a seed.
 Can be herbaceous or woody.

1.
Gymnosperms
• Evergreen
• Have cones
• Seeds are naked – not protected by a fruit.
• Example: Red Pine

Angiosperms
• Flowering Plants.
• Usually deciduous.
• Most have seeds protected in a fruit.
• Example: Apple tree
