What is the basis for distinguishing the life forms of plants?

There are five types of plant life forms. They all differ in the location of the kidneys. Some have them higher, others lower. Some plants do not have buds in principle. Let’s name all five types of plants:

1) Fanophytes – trees and shrubs. Their kidneys are located quite high above ground level.

2) Hamefites – shrubs and semi-shrubs. They have lower buds than phanerophytes.

3) Hemicryptophytes are perennials. Their buds grow very close to the ground.

4) Cryptophytes. Plants whose buds are hidden under the earth cover, under water.

5) Theophytes. They don’t develop kidneys.
