Question

Bryophytes differ from pteridophytes in _____.

• A. being non-vascular
• B. producing seeds
• C. being vascular
• D. producing naked seeds

Answer 1

The correct option is A being non-vascular

Plants belonging to division bryophyta do not have any specialised tissue for conduction of water and other substances. They are non-vascular plants. On the other hand, in pteridophytes, the plant body is differentiated into roots, stems and leaves. They have specialised tissue for conduction of water and other substances (vascular). Both bryophytes and pteridophytes are cryptogams, i.e., they do not produce seeds.
