    Plants can be classified into two main groups: flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Flowering plants produce flowers and seeds and can be further divided into monocotyledons and dicotyledons, which differ in leaf vein structure, root type, number of seed cotyledons, and stem structure. Non-flowering plants do not produce flowers and reproduce via spores or seeds, lacking true roots, stems, and leaves in some cases. Examples of non-flowering plants include algae, mosses, fungi, and ferns.
