Question

What are the general characteristics of vascular plants, and how do features of the seedless plant life cycle differ from that of the seed plant life cycle?

Answer 1

Vascular plants have water-carrying tissues, enabling the plants to become a larger size. It has specialized leaves, stems, and roots. Vascular plants have cuticles and stomata to prevent dessication and facilitate gas exchange, respectively.

Seed plants or spermatophytes are plants are seed-producing plants. Seedless plants are the plants which do not produce seeds for multiplication. Seedless plants can be vascular, meaning they retain water in the tissue of the plant, or they can be nonvascular. Ferns, horsetails (also called Indian puzzle plant) and club mosses are types of seedless vascular plants in that they have a root system and leaves that can hold water.
