Solution

Tracheophytes:

  1. Angiosperms, clubmosses, ferns, horsetails, and gymnosperms are examples of tracheophytes, which are vascular plants containing lignified and non-lignified tissues.
  2. Plants called tracheophytes have complex tissues, including vascular tissue, and an obvious sporophyte production.
  3. Tracheophytes are divided into many groupings within the Kingdom Plantae based on their highly developed vascular systems.

They are grouped into three categories:
Ferns

  1. Pteridophyta is a class of avascular, seedless plants that includes ferns.
  2. The tracheophytes are a diverse group of plants that includes the ferns, or pteridophytes.
  3. Plants known as tracheophytes have developed a vascular system, which is a network of pipes.
  4. The plant can move nutrients and water from the roots to the leaves and vice versa thanks to this transport mechanism.

Angiosperms

  1. Those plants that produce both flowers and fruits are referred to as flowering plants, or angiosperms.
  2. The Greek words angeion and sperma are the source of the English word "angiosperm," which describes plants that produce their seeds inside of a fruit..

Gymnosperms

  1. The clade Gymnospermae, of which the extant members are also known as Acrogymnospermae, is made up of the gymnosperms, a group of seed-producing plants that also includes conifers, cycads, Ginkgo, and gnetophytes.
  2. The name "gymnosperm" is derived from a Greek word that literally means “naked seeds.”
