Students have asked these similar questions
If 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? Why is that so important to our modern world today?
