    Classification of Plants(MCQs)

    In an attempt to classify plants, many scientists have taken into consideration


    various different characteristics. The artificial system of classification
    considered only a few morphological characters whereas, in a natural system of
    classification, plants are classified based on their morphological as well as
    anatomical features. In phylogenetic classification, even the evolutionary
    relationship was considered. Whittaker in his five-kingdom classification kept all
    the autotrophic, multicellular and eukaryotic organisms in the kingdom Plantae.
    Kingdom Plantae includes algae, bryophytes, pteridophytes, gymnosperms and
    angiosperms.
