Question

• A. Highly differentiated plant body
• B. True roots, stem and leaves
• C. Well defined vascular system
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

All of the above

The body of pteridophytes is differentiated into true stem, leaves and roots like higher plants. They possess well-developed vascular tissues like xylem and phloem for conduction of water and other substances from one part of plant body to another. While the body of thallophytes and bryophytes are not differentiated and lacks vascular system.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
