Types of Plants
2
Cacti Cactus plants are well adapted to hot and dry regions by storing water in their fleshy stems and branches that bear scales or prickles instead of leaves.
3
Flowers A flowering plant is a shoot of a higher plant that is specialized for reproduction and bears modified leaves (as petals). Flowers are very colorful plants.
4
Herbs Herbs are seed-producing plants that do not develop long-lived woody tissue but die down at the end of a growing season. Herbs are frequently used in cooking.
5
Shrubs and Bushes Shrubs and bushes are woody plants that have several stems and are smaller than most trees. Some shrubs and bushes produce flowers or bloom once or twice a year.
6
Mosses Mosses are plants that have no flowers but produce small leafy stems that grow in patches like cushions clinging to rocks, bark, or damp ground.
7
Ferns A fern is a seed plant that has a root, stem, and leaf-like fronds, but it reproduces by spores instead of by flowers and seeds.
8
Algae Algae is a plant that mostly grows in water, but it lacks a system of vessels for carrying fluids.

Types of Plants Did you know that botanists (scientists who study plants) believe there are about 300,000 types of plant species on Earth? There are other types of plants that we have not seen in this presentation today. Can you think of more?
