Please give me 3main difference between crytogamme and phanerogamme
Answers
1. A cryptogam (scientific name Cryptogamae) is a plant that reproduces by spores, without flowers or seeds. "Cryptogamae” means hidden reproduction, referring to the fact that no seed is produced, thus cryptogams represent the non-seed bearing plants. The best known groups of cryptogams are algae, lichens, mosses and ferns
2. Flowerless or seedless plants . Lower and more primitive plants. Hidden Reproductive Organs. Reproduction By spores. 3 main groups i.e. Thallophyte, Bryophyte and Pteridophyte Now we would learn about
3. A phylum of plants of very diverse habit and structure. They are unicellular. They reproduce vegetatively or by means of asexual spores. In the higher forms the plant body is a thallus, which may be filamentous or may consist of plates of cells. It is commonly undifferentiated into stem, leaves, and roots, and shows no distinct tissue systems. These are mostly aquatic plants and found both in fresh and marine water.
Cryptogams :-
- Include thallophytes, the bryophytes and the pteridophytes.
- they have naked embryos in form of spores.
- they are inconspicuous and therfore they are called Cryptogams or those with hidden reproductive organs.
Phanerogams :-
- Include gymnosperms and angiosperms.
- well differentiated reproductive organs.
- seeds may be enclosed or naked , embryos stored food for plants.
