Question

Which of the following lack true roots and leaves? *

A. Bryophytes and whisk ferns

B. Bryophytes

C. Bryophytes, whisk ferns, lycopods and pterophytes

D. Bryophytes, whisk ferns and lycopods

Definition Definition Group of plant species that utilize spores, instead of flowers or seeds, for sexual reproduction. Bryophytes reproduce asexually through fragmentation or by the production of gemmae. Non-vascular seedless plants, which include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts, are classified as bryophytes.
