Morphology

division + Anthophyta

The phrase is fully compositional: 'division' denotes a taxonomic rank and 'Anthophyta' names the group of flowering (seed‑bearing) plants, so the full meaning follows directly from the constituents. Although technical, the structure mirrors standard taxonomic naming and would be clear to a B1 learner who already knows both words.

Etymology

Division Anthophyta comes from old word parts: Anth- meaning 'flower' and -phyta meaning 'plant'. So the name refers to the group of plants that make flowers and keep their seeds inside a fruit, which is why it means 'flowering plants' today.
