Fill the gap
Choose the correct word from the word bank to complete each sentence. Each word is used once. Two words in the bank will not be used.
Plants can be sorted into four main groups based on two questions: do they have tissue (tubes that carry water inside the plant), and do they reproduce by or by ? Mosses are — they have no internal water tubes, so they stay small and must live in damp places. Ferns have vascular tissue but also reproduce by spores. Gymnosperms are vascular plants that make seeds inside , and do not produce flowers. Angiosperms are plants that store their seeds inside fruit. Angiosperms are divided into two sub-groups: a has one seed leaf and parallel veins, while a dicot has two seed leaves and branching veins.
Match each term to its definition
Draw a line connecting each term on the left to its correct definition on the right. Or write the matching letter next to each term.
| Term | Your answer | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| Gymnosperm | A. A flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed inside a fruit. | |
| Angiosperm | B. A plant with parallel leaf veins, one seed leaf, and fibrous roots. | |
| Moss | C. A vascular plant that reproduces by spores and never produces seeds. | |
| Fern | D. A plant with no vascular tissue that stays small and needs moisture to reproduce by spores. | |
| Monocot | E. A vascular plant that produces seeds naked inside cones, with no flowers. | |
| Dicot | F. A flowering plant with two seed leaves, net-like veins, and a taproot. |
1. List the four main plant groups and state whether each one reproduces by spores or seeds.
2. Explain why mosses must live in damp places but pine trees do not.
