Plantae — from mosses to flowers

01 · The groups

A ladder onto land

From simple bryophytes (mosses) to pteridophytes (ferns), gymnosperms (conifers with naked seeds) and angiosperms (flowering plants), each group is better adapted to dry land. ▶ Play to climb the ladder.

02 · Life cycle

Alternation of generations

Plants alternate between a diploid sporophyte (makes spores) and a haploid gametophyte (makes gametes). Gametes fuse → a new sporophyte. ▶ Play to go round the cycle.
