Protoctista

Vascular system - The vessels and tissue that carry or circulate fluids.
Seeds - Embroyonic plant enclosed in a covering called the testa and usually contains some stored food.
Spores - A reproductive unit capable of developing into another such plant without sexual fusion
Flowers - The reproductive organs of some plants that are typically surrounded by brightly coloured petals.
Cones - A woody reproductive structure that contains seeds.
Sexual fusion - Reproduction involving the combining of a male (sperm) and female (egg) gametes.
