flowering plants
Petal-producing vegetation
Flowering plants are the dominant group of land plants, distinguished by producing flowers and enclosing their seeds in fruit.
They include most familiar vegetation—trees, shrubs, grasses, and garden plants—as well as food crops like wheat, rice, and apples.
The technical term is angiosperms, from Greek words meaning "vessel seed," referring to the protective fruit surrounding the seeds.
