What are the general characteristics of pteridophytes?

Answer 1

Pteridophytes:

1. A vascular plant that generates and disperses spores is known as a pteridophyte.
2. Because they do not produce blooms or seeds, pteridophytes are often referred to as "cryptogams," which means that their reproductive methods are hidden.
3. They're the most rudimentary of the bunch.
4. Pteridophytes live in wet, shaded, and damp environments.
5. They can be found in bogs, swamps, tropical plants, and cracks in rocks.
6. The Pteridophytes were among the first plants to actually live on land.
7. They are vascular, seedless cryptogams.
8. Pteridophytes are spore-reproducing, seedless plants.
9. They lack xylem vessels and phloem companion cells but have vascular tissues.
10. The majority of the leaves are missing.
11. Homosporous synangium is the sporophyte.
