Angiosperms
Definition
A major division or dominant taxonomic group (Angiospermae) gathering all higher vascular plants with flowers and seeds enclosed within a fruit. From a structural and evolutionary perspective, this vast group represents the primary component of today's terrestrial flora, being well-defined by its diverse reproductive mechanisms, the presence of perfect xylem vessels (tracheae), and double fertilization.
