Explanation

The first and most fundamental criterion for plant classification is whether the plant body is differentiated (having distinct roots, stems, leaves) or undifferentiated (simple body without these distinct parts). This primary division separates thallophytes from all other plant groups, after which other characteristics like vascular tissue, seeds, and flowers are considered.
