6 of 14
Describe the appearance of Bryophytes.
No real roots, only rhizoids. Simple leaves and stems or a flattened thallus. No vascular tissue.
7 of 14
Describe the reproductive traits of Bryophytes.
Spores are produced inside a capsule which develops at the end of a stalk. Male gametes are motile.
8 of 14
Describe the appearance of Filicinophytes.
Have roots, leaves and non-woody stems. Leaves are often curled up in buds and are pinnate.
9 of 14
Describe the reproductive traits of Filicinophytes.
Produce spores inside sporangia on the underside of leaves. Male gametes are motile.
10 of 14
Describe the appearance of Coniferophytes.
Have roots, leaves and woody stems. Leaves are often pine-like with a thick, waxy cuticle.
11 of 14
Describe the reproductive traits of Coniferophytes.
Ovules produced on the scales of female cones. Fertilized by pollen from male cones.
12 of 14
Describe the appearance of Angiospermophytes.
Flowering plants. Roots, leaves and stems (which can be woody).
13 of 14
