Summary Introduction
Introduction: The primitive vascular plants are evolved from non-vascular plants, such as mosses and liverworts. Some of the primate vascular plants are fern, clubmosses, and horsetails. The primitive vascular plant gave rise to seed plant that is again divided into gymnosperms and
