Question

Non-vascular plants are found in
I. algae
II. bryophytes
III. pteridophytes
IV. gymnosperms
V. angiosperms

• A. Only I and II
• B. Only I and III
• C. Only III, IV and V
• D. Only IV and V

Answer 1

The correct option is A Only I and II

Non-vascular plants lack vascular tissues such as xylem and phloem. Algae are thallophytes which lack true roots or shoots. Hence they also do not have xylem or phloem tissues. Bryophytes include mosses and liverworts which also lack xylem and phloem. Hence, both these come under non-vascular plants. Hence, organisms in both these categories don’t have tall plants.

Plants in pteridophytes, gymnosperms and angiosperms are tall and have vascular tissues for conducting nutrients and water to and from long distances.
