Question
Bryophytes are called vascular cryptogams. True or false?
Answer: Option B
:
B
Cryptogamae includes those plants that do not bear flowers and seeds and reproduce asexually by means of spores. Bryophytes (mosses, liverworts and hornworts) are cryptogams. Bryophytes are in complete contact with water and hence do not require vascular tissue. It is the pteridophytes in fact who are called 'vascular cryptogams' due to the presence of vascular tissue.
