Question

The vascular tissue is absent in

• A. Algae, fungi and pteridophytes
• B. Thallophytes and bryophytes
• C. Bryophytes and pteridophytes
• D. Angiosperm and gymnosperm

Answer 1

The correct option is B Thallophytes and bryophytes

• Vascular tissues like xylem and phloem are found in the higher plants.
• These vascular tissues help in the conduction of food and water through the complex plant body of higher plants.
• Roots are seen in higher plants, but they are absent in both thallophytes and bryophytes.
• Since, thallophytes and bryophytes don't have true leaves, stems, and roots, they don't have vascular tissues.

Hence, the correct option is B.
