The genus is the taxonomic rank that is directly below the family level in the hierarchy of biological classification.

Gymnosperms produce seeds that are exposed on cones, unlike angiosperms which have seeds enclosed in fruits.

Angiosperms, or flowering plants, represent the largest diversity of species in the plant kingdom.

Phloem is responsible for the transport of sugars produced during photosynthesis from leaves to other parts of the plant.

Stomata are small openings on the leaf surface that facilitate gas exchange, allowing CO2 in and O2 out.

Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes, leading to genetic diversity.

Monocots typically have a fibrous root system, which consists of many thin roots that spread out.

Flowers in the Asteraceae family typically exhibit radial symmetry, allowing for multiple lines of symmetry.

The taxonomic hierarchy follows the order: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.

Dicotyledons typically have vascular bundles arranged in a ring and two seed leaves (cotyledons).

Dicotyledons typically exhibit net-like leaf venation and have two seed leaves (cotyledons).

Gymnosperms do not produce flowers; they have naked seeds typically found in cones.

Pteridophytes, such as ferns, have vascular tissue, which allows for the transport of water and nutrients.

Ferns reproduce via spores produced in sporangia, as they do not produce flowers or seeds.

Petals are often brightly colored and serve to attract pollinators to the flower.

Transpiration is the process that drives the movement of water from the roots through the plant to the leaves.
