Dear student

1.Thallophyta:-

The plant body is thallus. It is not differentiated into root, stem and leaves.

There is no vascular system (i.e., conducting tissue which can transport water, minerals and food.

Sex organs are unicellular

No embryo formation takes place after fertilization.

Example: Algae.


2.Bryophyte:-

Plant body does not have true roots, stems and leaves but shows root like and leaf-like structures.

True vascular system is absent.

Sex organs are multicellular.

The embryo is formed after fertilization.

Example: Mosses


3. Pteridophytes:-

Plants have true roots, stems, and leaves.

True vascular system is present.

Sex organs are multicellular.

Embryo is formed after fertilization.

Example: Ferns.2.

Gymnosperm

Angiosperm

Nature of Seeds

Naked Seed

Seed inside seed case (fruit)

Reproductive organs

Cones

Flower

Xylem

They have only tracheid. Xylem walls have bordered pits.
