Root Explanation

Angiosperm is formed from "angeion" (meaning vessel) and "sperma" (meaning seed). The term refers to plants that have seeds enclosed within a vessel, specifically the fruit.

Memory Tip

Think of 'vessel' ('angeion') that holds 'seeds' ('sperma') — that's why angiosperms are plants with seeds enclosed in a fruit.
