Question

Which type of plant is Ocimum tenuiflorum ?? Cryptogam or Phanerogam

Answer 1

Cryptogams are non-seed-bearing primitive plants that have hidden reproductive organs. Examples of cryptogam are mosses, ferns, liches, algae, and so on.

Phanerogams are seed-bearing higher plants that have exposed reproductive organs. Examples of Phanerogams are mango, conifers, banyan dicot, and so on.

O. tenuiflorum is an annual or short-lived perennial plant that has been used as a culinary and medicinal herb for centuries. It is an angiosperm. So, it's a Phanerogam.
