- Know and Comprehend 12. Which of the following statements about ferns is not true? (a) ferns have motile sperm cells that swim through water to the egg-containing archegonium (b) ferns are vascular plants (c) ferns are the most economically important group of bryophytes (d) the fern sporophyte consists of a rhizome, roots, and fronds (e) the diversity of ferns is greatest in the tropicsIf Rhynia or its contemporaries were the ancestors to the ferns, how did the gametophytes and sporophytes change during evolution?Compare and contrast bryophytes (e.g. mosses) and seedless vascular plants (e.g. ferns). What differences exist between these classifications of plants, and how have these differences become evolutionarily advantageous?
- What are leaves? what are the two types? What is the difference between homosporous plants and heterosporous plants? What are megaspores and microspores? What was significance of the ecological role of seedless vascular plants back when they dominated terrestrial habitats?

Bryophytes and whisk ferns B. Bryophytes C. Bryophytes, whisk ferns, lycopods and pterophytes D. Bryophytes, whisk ferns and lycopods
- Ferns and their allies are both vascular plants which means they all contain the xylem & phloem for water and food transport.
