The plant kingdom is a rich and varied world, with species such as green algae that grow on the microscopic level as well as monstrously large, imposing beauties like the giant redwood trees. Botanists, who study plant species, have identified more than 300,000 species of plants that presently exist.The existing species can be broken down into a few groups, including bryophytes, ferns, fern allies, and seed plants.eed plants, which are also referred to as spermatophytes, reproduce by producing seeds. Flowering plants and conifer trees are examples of this type of plants. Many fruits and vegetables are also part of the seed plant variety. Ad. Ferns, like bryophytes, reproduce via spores.
ARCTIC PLANTS. Approximately 1,700 species of plants live on the Arctic tundra, including flowering plants, dwarf shrubs, herbs, grasses, mosses, and lichens. The tundra is characterized by permafrost, a layer of soil and partially decomposed organic matter that is frozen year-round.hen we think of the word âplantsâ we typically picture trees, bushes, grasses, and ferns â so-called âvascular plantsâ because of their full systems of leaves, stems, and roots. However, the plant kingdom also includes mosses, liverworts, and hornworts, simpler plants that lack these water-transporting structures.
