Question

Thallophyta, Bryophyta, and Pteridophyta are called as ‘Cryptogams’. Gymnosperms and Angiosperms are called as ‘phanerogams’. Discuss why? Draw one example of Gymnosperm.

Answer 1

* Thallophyta, bryophyte, and Pteridophyta are called cryptogams because they have no true flowers or seeds and they reproduce by spores.
* Gymnosperms and Angiosperms are called as Phanerogams because these plants have well differentiated reproductive tissues that ultimately make seeds.
