Are anthophyta flowering plants?

Yes. Anthophyta is a taxonomic name for the flowering plants, also called angiosperms (and sometimes Magnoliophyta). These vascular seed plants produce flowers and enclose their seeds in fruits that develop from an ovary.

Encyclopaedia Britannica describes angiosperms as the largest and most diverse group in the plant kingdom, with about 352,000 species—roughly 80% of known living green plants. Modern phylogeny often treats them as a clade rather than insisting on the formal division name Anthophyta.
