Pteridophytes differ from bryophytes in having:

Options

A. independent gametophyte
B. well developed vascular system
C. archegonia
D. flagellate spermatozoids

Answer

B

Explanation

(b) Pteridophytes are most primitive vascular flowerless, spore producing cryptogamic land plants, commonly called vasular amphibians/botanical snakes/spore producing seedless trachaeophytes. They are first vascular land plants to have independent sporophyte diploid plant body with true noot, stem and leaves. In contrast bryophytes, the amphibians of plant kingdom are devoid of true roots, stem and leaves, with no vascular supply but root-like, non-vascular rhizoids, leaf-like and stem-like structures are present.
