The flowering plants (angiosperms) are also known as Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta. There are more than 250,000 of these seed producing plants. YES, sunflowers are included.
Characteristics of Angiosperms:
- Flowers (the thing that sets angiosperms apart from all others)
- Stamens (specialized to attract pollinators & modified to prevent self-fertilization)
- Smaller sized pollen (than the gymnosperms)
- Closed carpel (cuts down on self-fertilization and increases genetic variablity)
- Smaller sized "egg" (than the gymnosperms)
- Endosperm (nutritive tissue for embryo, cotyledons & seedling)

How does a sunflowers life begin?
It starts with a seed or spores and slowly turns into maturity. It germinates later. Angiosperms are flowering seeds, so it is covered by a fruit such as apples. Gymnosperms are unprotected seeds,so there are less possibilities to reproduce than angiosperms. Gymnosperms are usually all spores and there are more gymnosperms than angiosperms because of the possibility of growing.
