Solution
The correct option is A Pteridophytes
- In bryophytes and pteridophytes, apical growth occurs by the division of a single cell present at the tip of the shoot or root apical meristem.
- The apical cell is an embryonic and uppermost cell formed by the first division of the zygote.
- They are tetrahedral in shape with three or four cutting faces in these lower plants.
- In vascular plants, apical growth occurs due to the apical meristematic tissue located at the shoot tip and root tip.
- So, the correct answer is 'Pteridophytes'
