Angiosperms, also known as flowering plants, are a diverse group of plants that produce flowers and seeds enclosed within a fruit. They are the most abundant type of plant on Earth, with over 300,000 species ranging from tiny herbs to towering trees. Angiosperms play a crucial role in ecosystems, providing food and habitat for countless organisms. These plants are characterized by their reproductive structures, which include flowers that attract pollinators like bees and birds. The seeds develop within fruits, which aid in their dispersal. Angiosperms are vital for agriculture, as they include many crops that sustain human populations, such as wheat, rice, and corn.
