Question

Which of the following statement is correct with reference to bryophytes?

• A. Their female sex organ is called oogonium
• B. Their sex organs are unicellular.
• C. They lack true roots, stem or leaves.
• D. Antherozoids are multiflagellated.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

They lack true roots, stem or leaves.

Bryophytes are non vascular land plants which occur in damp and shady places. In bryophytes, the diploid sporophyte lives as a parasite on independent haploid gametophyte. The main plant body is a gametophyte and is not differentiated into roots, stem and leaves and is called thallus. They possess hair - like rhizoids, which fix them to the substratum.
