Solution

Ferns:

  1. Ferns are vascular plants. They are mostly found in damp and shady regions.
  2. The dominant phase in their life cycle is sporophyte.
  3. Ferns are not bryophytes. They are pteridophytes.
  4. Ferns possess well-defined roots, stems, and leaves. They have a well-developed vascular system.
  5. They do not produce seeds or flowers to reproduce. Thus, they are also called cryptogams.
  6. Bryophytes are a diverse group of liverworts and mosses. They are small and non-vascular plants.
  7. They lack true stems, leaves, or roots. They do not have a vascular system but have chlorophyll that helps in photosynthesis.
