Answers
Answer:
Following are the characteristic features of phanerogams:
They have well-differentiated plants i.e. the plant body is divided into distinct root, shoot, and leaves.
These are multicellular, eukaryotic and chlorophyll containing plants.
These are photoautotrophic and produce own food by photosynthesis.
These are flowering plants.
These have vascular system i.e. xylem and phloem tissues.
These are higher terrestrial plants and can be found in deserts, on mountains, and in rainforests.
Here the reproductive organs are found in the flowers and are visible.
The life cycle of phanerogams is completed in two generations sporophytic generation and gametophytic generation. This is also known as alternation of generation.
The plant body is a sporophyte and diploid.
The gametophytic phase is much reduced in phanerogams.
