If the given diagram shows global biodiversity of plants; then which option correctly represents ‘X’ & ‘Y’?
‘X’ Fungi; ‘Y’ Angiosperms
There are several species of fungi as well as angiosperms distributed in this planet.
Kingdom Plantae includes the flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms, ferns, clubmosses, hornworts, liverworts, mosses and the green algae and red algae. There are about 3-3.15 million species of plants, of which the great majority, some 2.6–2.9 million, are seed plants (angiosperms).
Kingdom Fungi includes all mushrooms, yeast and molds, which are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules.
The fungus kingdom encompasses an enormous diversity, which has been estimated at 2.2 million to 3.8 million species, of which only 120,000 have been described.
