• To aid plants in their reproduction.
• Gymnosperms – both have vascular tissues, both produce pollen, both have seeds.
• Produce seeds within a flower, the flowers are designed by their shape, color, and fragrance.
• Angiosperms – have flowers, produce seeds in fruit, animal pollinators.

Flowering plants grow flowers and use seeds to reproduce, or make more plants like them. Nonflowering plants do not grow flowers, and use either seeds or spores, which are very tiny parts of a plant that can be used to reproduce, to grow more plants just like them.

Plants which do not produce flowers are called non-flowering plants. Characteristics of Non-Flowering Plants: Reproduce by tiny spores which are found in the spore bags located on the underside of the leaves. When the spores are mature they are released into the air and carried by wind to new places.

noun. a plant that produces flowers, fruit, and seeds; angiosperm.

Broadleaf plants generally have wider leaves than grass plants and the stems are often branched. Leaf veination is netlike or has a branched appearance. Grasses and sedges are monocots; their seedlings produce only one cotyledon (sometimes referred to as the coleoptile in grasses).

In addition to its use in ecology, the term “forb” may be used for subdividing popular guides to wildflowers, distinguishing them from other categories such as grasses, sedges, shrubs, and trees. Some examples of forbs are clovers, sunflowers, daylilies, and milkweed.

For example, cattle and bison eat primarily grass; deer eat primarily forbs and browse (the edible leaves and stems of woody plants), but very little grass. Some ruminants, such as goats, have the ability to choose their diet across a wide spectrum of available plant types: grasses, forbs and woody vegetation.

Forbs (sometimes referred to as herbs) are herbaceous (not woody), broadleaf plants that are not grass-like. Rangeland forbs are usually perennial and may be poisonous, but seldom dominate a stand unless there has been serious overgrazing.

noun. any herbaceous plant that is not a grass.

: a flat-topped inflorescence specifically : one in which the flower stalks arise at different levels on the main axis and reach about the same height and in which the outer flowers open first — see inflorescence illustration.

Definition. Shrubs are perennial woody plants, and therefore have persistent woody stems above ground (compare with herbaceous plants). Usually shrubs are distinguished from trees by their height and multiple stems. Some shrubs are deciduous (e.g. hawthorn) and others evergreen (e.g. holly).

: having a stalk or petiole.
