Phylum Anthophyta is the largest group of flowering plants. They can be either herbaceous or hardwood and they are the most advanced of all plant forms. The most distinctive part of this group is the flower. These cluster of highly-specialized leaves play a key part in reproduction. The leaves on the outside act like protection or attraction depending on what the flower needs to survive. On the inside the plant prduces spores which can go out and fertliize other plants as well as further seal off the ovaries. This protects them from danger and self fertilization all which allows the flower to continue to prosper throughout the environment.
There are two classes of Anthophyta as well: Monocotyledonae and Dicotyledonae. To learn about these click on the words and follow the link.
