Answer 1

A pteridophyte is a vascular plant (with xylem and phloem) that disperses spores. Because pteridophytes produce neither flowers nor seeds, they are also referred to as "cryptogams", meaning that their means of reproduction is hidden. The pteridophytes include the ferns, horsetails, and the lycophytes , and quillworts). These are not a monophyletic group because ferns and horsetails are more closely related to seed plant than to the lycophytes. Therefore, "Pteridophyta" is no longer a widely accepted taxon, although the term pteridophyte remains in common parlance, as do pteridology and pteridologist as a science and its practitioner, to indicate lycophytes and ferns as an informal grouping, such as the International Association of Pteridologists and the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group.

Pteridophyte are vascular plants i.e., plants with xylem and phloem, that reproduce and disperse via spores. The dominant phase inbryophyte is gametophyte while the dominant phase inpteridophyte is sporophyte. ...Bryophytes have no vascular tissues while pteridophytes have vascular tissues.
