Question

Bryophytes have conducting tissue.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Xylem and phloem are vascular tissues which are a complex conducting tissue formed of more than one type of cell. Xylem transports water and minerals while phloem conducts organic food. Bryophytes do not have to conduct tissues. They are non-vascular terrestrial plants of moist habitats in which a multicellular diploid sporophyte lives as a parasite on an independent multicellular haploid gametophyte. Pteridophytes are the first terrestrial plants to possess conducting tissues.
