UP Board Class 11 Biology – Plant Kingdom
The chapter “Plant Kingdom” in UP Board Class 11 Biology provides a detailed study of the vast diversity of plants found on Earth. It explains how plants evolved from simple aquatic forms to complex land plants and how they are systematically classified based on structural, reproductive, and evolutionary features. The chapter follows UP Board modified NCERT classification, dividing the plant world into Algae, Bryophytes, Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms, and Angiosperms.
Students learn about the characteristics, habitat, reproduction, and life cycles of each plant group. Algae are simple photosynthetic organisms, while Bryophytes are known as “amphibians of the plant kingdom.” Pteridophytes represent the first vascular plants, whereas Gymnosperms are plants with naked seeds. Angiosperms, the largest plant group, have well-developed flowers and fruits.
This chapter helps students understand plant evolution, alternation of generations, and the economic importance of various plant groups. It forms the foundation for advanced topics in botany, ecology, and competitive exams like NEET.
