In Biology the equivalent of a Phylum is called a Division The kingdom of Plantae is divided in to various ways by different biologists and there are 12 phylums of plant kingdom and total of 36 and plant kingdom is divided in to 2 types and they are:
1- cryptogams
2- phanerogams
Different types of Phylums in Plant Kingdom:
There are different types of phylum’s in animal kingdom and their classification and characteristics as well. Phylum are classified in to many types in which phylum of plant kingdom is one of them.
Lets see the list of phylum’s which comes under these phylum’s of plant kingdom which is the classification of biology.
When you come around from your house you see plants with greenery and different kind of plants and tress gives different kind of flowers, fruits and few of them will be very special and rare plants and tress specially for different usages and different kind vegetables as well in everyday life.
Have you ever wondered that all of these belongs to plant kingdom and divided and sub grouped with classes of phylum of plant kingdom with separating fascinate facts and few of them will be having special features.
Plante Class:
Kingdom Plantae: They are multicellular, eukaryotic, autotrophic (photosynthetic), approximately they are parasitic and heterotrophic. They contain green plants, photosynthetic algae, etc
Phylum’s of plant kingdom:
The term phylum which is a level of taxonomic or classification which is rank below or above class. The kingdom plantae is composed of plants that are multicellular, autotrophic and eukaryotes
What are the Four Phylum’s of Plantae
Plantae are made up into four phylum Angiospermorphyta (anthophyta), Coniferophyta, filicinophyta (pteridophyta), and Bryophyta, or flowering plant, conifer, fern, and moss, respectively
In Plant kingdom here is the set of 12 phylum’s of plant kingdom which are given below :
- Bryphyta
- Hephatophyta
- Anthocerophyta
- Pteridophyta
- Lycophyta
- Sphenophyta
- Psilophyta
- Ginkgophyta
- Coniferophyta
- Gnetophyta
- Pilsophyta
- Pteridophyta
Lets see the list of different types of plant kingdom phylum’s which is biological phyla and list in detail below:
