Activity 16: Plants classification 2

PLANT CLASSIFICATION

• There are many ways of classifyingplants.

• The simplest way of classifying plants isby the size of their stems.

• There are three types according to thesize of their stem:

Trees have got a thick, hard stem called a trunk.

Tree branches are high, never grow closeto the ground

Bushes have got a short, hard stem

Branches grow out of the stem closeto the ground

Grasses have got a soft, flexible steminstead of a trunk.

They don’t havebranches
