The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Pteridophytes**: Pteridophytes are a group of vascular plants that reproduce via spores and have a dominant sporophyte generation. This means that the main plant body is a sporophyte. 2. **Identifying the Main Plant Body**: In pteridophytes, the sporophyte is the main plant body, which is differentiated into various structures. 3. **Differentiation of the Sporophyte**: The sporophyte in pteridophytes is differentiated into three main parts: - **True Roots**: These are the structures that anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients from the soil. - **Stems**: The stem supports the plant and is usually herbaceous (soft and green), facilitating the transport of nutrients and water. - **Leaves**: The leaves are the sites for photosynthesis, allowing the plant to convert sunlight into energy. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that in pteridophytes, the main plant body (sporophyte) is differentiated into true roots, stems, and leaves. **Final Answer**: True roots, stem, and leaves. ---
