PLANT PHYLA COMPARISONSVarious terms
Plant PhylaBryophyta Filicinophyta Coniferophyta Angiospermophyta
Vegetative organs-parts of the plant concerned
with growth rather than reproduction
Rhizoids but no true roots. Some with simple stems & leaves; others
have only a thallus
Roots, stems, & leaves are usually present
Vascular tissue- tissues with tubular structures
used for transport within the plant
No xylem or phloem
Xylem and Phloem are both present
Cambium- cells between xylem and phloem that
can produce more of these tissues
No cambium, no true trees & shrubs
Present in conifers & most angiosperms, allowing secondary thickening of stems & roots & development of plants into trees & shrubs
Pollen- small structures containing male gametes that are
dispersed
Pollen is not produced Pollen is produced in male cones
Pollen is produced by anthers in flowers
Ovules- contains a female gamete &
develops into a seed after fertilization
No ovaries or ovules Ovules are produced in female cones
Ovules are enclosed inside ovaries in flowers
Seeds-dispersible unit consisting of an embryo plant and food reserves,
inside a seed coat
No seeds Seeds are produced and dispersed
Fruits- seeds together with a fruit wall
developed from the ovary wall
No fruits Fruits produced for dispersal of seeds

FLOWERING PLANTS
Phylum & Examples Mouth/Anus Symmetry Skeleton Other External Recognition Features
Porifera No mouth or anus
None Internal spicules (skeletal needles)
Many pores over the surface through which water is drawn
in for filter feeding. Varied shapes
Cnidaria Mouth only Radial Soft, but hard corals secrete CaCO3
Tentacles arranged in rings around the mouth, with stinging cells. Polyps or
medusae (jellyfish)
Platyhelminthes Mouth only Bilateral Soft with no skeleton Flat & thin bodies in the shape of a ribbon. No blood system or system for gas exchange
Mollusca Mouth and anus
Bilateral Most have shell made of CaCO3
A fold in the body wall called the mantle secretes the shall. A hard rasping radula is used
for feeding.
Annelida Mouth and anus
Bilateral Internal cavity with fluid under pressure
Bodies made up of many ring-shaped segments, often with bristles. Blood vessels often
visible
Arthropoda Mouth and anus
Bilateral External skeleton made of plates of
chitin
Segmented bodies and legs or other appendages with joints
between the sections.
