Question

Pteridophyte plants differ from bryophytes on which basis ?

• A. Vascular tissue
• B. Zoospores
• C. Male reproductive organ
• D. Aplanospores

Answer 1

The correct option is A Vascular tissue

Bryophytes include plants like liverworts, hornworts, and mosses. These plants do not contain xylem and phloem tissues. They are known as non-vascular plants. While pteridophytes include plants like spikemosses, clubmosses, ferns, quillworts. They contain xylem and phloem tissues. They are termed as vascular plants.


Pteridophytes differ from bryophytes in having vascular tissues as pteridophytes are the first terrestrial plants to possess xylem and phloem (vascular tissues) and bryophytes are less developed than pteridophytes.

So, the correct answer is "option B"
