Followings are difference between Bryophyte and Fern:
• Bryophytes are non-vascular plants, whereas ferns are vascular plants.
• Habitats of bryophytes are mainly wet environments, but ferns can be seen in a wide range of habitat from the aquatic environment to dry terrestrial environments.
• The size of the bryophyte plant is small, restricting to few millimeters, whereas ferns have a broad range of structures from 0.5 cm about 10m of height.
• Bryophytes are lack of true leaves, roots and stem, but ferns have underground stem or rhizoids, large compound leaves and wiry roots.
• In bryophytes, gametophyte is the independent generation and sporophyte is depending on the gametophyte whereas, in ferns, sporophyte is the dominant generation.
• Gametophyte of a bryophyte is not a prothallus, whereas the gametophyte of the fern is prothallus.
• The “leaves” of the bryophyte are small, and the leaves of the ferns are compound frond like.
• Ferns fronds at the initial stage show circinate vernation whereas bryophyte “leaves” do not.
