Question

Describe the salient features of pteridophytes. Give its economic importance​

Answer 1

Answer:

Pteridophytes (Gr. pteron= feather, phyton = plant) constitute the most primitive seedless vascular plants that reproduce by means of spores. Hence, they are known as 'vascular cryptogams'. Haeckel (1866) called these groups of plants as “Pteridophytes” because of their pinnate or feather like fronds (leaves).
