Plant Classification - Worksheet | Distance Learning | Teaching ... - Free Printable

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are classifying plants in the Plant Kingdom using a flowchart. The categories we can use are:
- Flowers
- Seeds
- Vascular plants
- No flowers

Looking at the chart:

1. The top split is between Nonvascular Plants (like mosses) and another group — that must be Vascular Plants, because those are the two main groups of plants based on whether they have vascular tissue (tubes to carry water and food).

→ So, the first blank box (right under “Plant Kingdom”) should be: Vascular Plants

2. Under “Vascular Plants”, it splits into “Seedless” (which includes ferns) and another group — that must be plants that have seeds.

→ So, the next blank box (to the right of “Seedless”) should be: Seeds

3. Now, under “Seeds”, it splits again into two groups: one with pine trees (gymnosperms) and one with roses (angiosperms).

What’s the difference? Gymnosperms (like pine trees) do NOT have flowers — their seeds are in cones. Angiosperms (like roses) DO have flowers — their seeds are inside fruits or flowers.

So, the left box under “Seeds” (for pine trees) should be: No flowers

And the right box under “Seeds” (for roses) should be: Flowers

Let’s double-check:

- Nonvascular → Mosses ✔
- Vascular → splits into Seedless (ferns) and Seeds ✔
- Seeds → splits into No flowers (pine trees/gymnosperms) and Flowers (roses/angiosperms) ✔

Everything fits!

Final Answer:
Top right box: Vascular Plants
Middle right box: Seeds
Bottom left box (under Seeds): No flowers
Bottom right box (under Seeds): Flowers
