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
Lignin and vascular tissue first evolved in relatives of club moss, and some extinct species stood 40 meters (130 feet) high. Explain how the evolution of vascular tissues and lignin would have allowed a dramatic increase in plant height. How might being tall give one plant species a competitive advantage over another?
What key traits distinguish each group from the other listed in the comparison?
A) All land plants from green algae?
B) Pteridophyta (ferns) from Bryophyta (mosses)?
C) Angiosperms from ferns?
