Summary:
- Angiosperms, or flowering plants, are the most abundant and diverse plants on Earth.
- They consist of highly specialized male and female reproductive organs.
- Flowers form on the dominant sporophyte plant.
- Flowers produce spores that develop into gametophytes, which produce eggs inside the ovaries of flowers.
- Flowers also attract animal pollinators.
- Fruits attract animals that may disperse the seeds they contain.
- If a seed germinates, it may grow into a mature sporophytes plant and repeat the cycle.
