Multiple Choice Quiz on Pteridophytes | Plant Science Quiz

Cryptogams are plants which do not produce flowers  and fruits .The cryptogams include algae, fungi, lichen, bryophytes and pteridophytes. Except pteridophytes  all others are the lower cryptogams, as they do not possess true vascular  cryptogams, as they do not possess true vascular tissue for conduction. Pteridophytes are called vascular cryptogams. these are plants with well developed vascular system and they reproduce  by spores. In pteridophytes the real plant body is the sporophyte which is diploid and independent. Read more>>
