These areas have distinct types of plants, soil, and weather patterns. Vegetation regions can be divided into five major types: forest, grassland, tundra, desert, and ice sheet.

Scientists divide the Earth's land into what are called vegetation regions. These areas have distinct types of plants, soil, and weather patterns. Vegetation regions can be divided into five major types: forest, grassland, tundra, desert, and ice sheet.

There are three main types of grasslands—temperate grasslands, tropical grasslands (also known as savannas), and steppe grasslands.

The major divisions of the plant kingdom are the mosses, ferns, conifers (gymnosperms) and flowering plants (angiosperms).

Plants have only three tissue types: 1) Dermal; 2) Ground; and 3) Vascular. Dermal tissue covers the outer surface of herbaceous plants. Dermal tissue is composed of epidermal cells, closely packed cells that secrete a waxy cuticle that aids in the prevention of water loss.

The Earth supports multiple biomes, with the five major biome classifications being: aquatic, desert, grassland, tundra and forests. But scientists like to classify these ecological communities into even smaller distinctive categories.
