flowering plant
Blossom-producing botanical organism
A flowering plant is any plant that produces flowers and seeds—the dominant group of land plants, including trees, grasses, and most food crops.
The term distinguishes these from ferns, mosses, and conifers, which reproduce differently.
In botanical contexts, called angiosperms: Most garden vegetables are flowering plants.
