Then the word ‘plant’ should not be in the heading A and B.

But moss and ferns are “plants” (though non-flowering), how can a fungi be grouped together with them?

Since the question is leading to ‘reproduce by spores’, then perhaps the headings are ‘do not reproduce by spores’ and ‘reproduce by spores’….acceptable?

Now that you put it that way, logical. however the answer sheet for part (a) is A= flowering, B=non-flowering. They left out the word ‘plants’ conveniently :smile:

Like that also can? In that case, pirate can be classified under B too. :wink:

Perhaps you classified them as follows,

A => Reproduce by seeds

B => Reproduce by spores

Then oragism Y goes to B make sense.

It seems we have to read question B before we can answer question A.
