ANSWER :

Pteridophytes are plants that do not have any flowers or seeds. Hence another name for it is Cryptogams. They include ferns and horsetails. In fact, they can be considered as the first terrestrial vascular plants, showing the presence of the vascular tissue, xylem, and phloem. Mostly, we find these plants in damp and shady places. Also, most ferns are grown as ornamental plants.

FEATURES OF PTERIDOPHYTES

Pteridophytes display differentiation. The plant body can be divided into true root, stem, and leaves. A saprophyte is the main plant body here. Some of the species belonging to this division have small leaves called the microphylls. For example, Selaginella. Megaphylls are the large leaves that some pteridophytes have. For example, fern plants. The main plant bears the sporangia. These bear some leaf-like appendages called the sporophylls. In a few species such as Selaginella and Equisetum, the sporophylls form compact structures called cones or strobili.
