Sexual Reproduction in Plants

• Plants reproduce asexually through grafting,
  cuttings, cloning, tissue culture and from their
  roots.
• Plants can also reproduce sexually. The product
  of sexual reproduction in plants is a seed.
• Plants are classified (or organized) based on the
  type of seeds they produce.

Types of Plants (based on their seeds)

• Angiosperms are flowering plants. The seeds of
  angiosperms form inside the flower. Example
  tulips and lilies.
• Gymnosperms do not have flowers. They produce
  seeds in cones. Example pine trees and oak trees
• Some plants dont produce seeds at all but they
  still reproduce sexually. Example ferns and
  mosses

Angiosperms

• All flowers function as the plants reproductive
  organ.
• The female reproductive organ is the pistil and
  the male is the stamen.
• Pollen from anthers must reach the stigma of the
  pistil before a seed can develop this is called
  pollination.
• Some plants have both male and female
  reproductive organs therefore they are able to
  self-pollinate.
