Question

write the characteristics of the plants belonging to division bryophyta

Answer 1

Hey here is your answer buddy....
1)All of these are land plants (terrestrial) with some aquatic forms .
2) They are very small.
3) The sporophyte and gametophyte have very different morphologies (heteromorphic generations) and the sporophyte is usually partly dependent on the gametophyte.
4)Photosynthetic, non-vascular plants Plant body is either :-Thalloid and attached to the substratum by hair-like structures called rhizoids (true roots are absent) oris differentiated into stem-like (caulalia) and leaf-like structures (phyllids), true stems and leaves lacking.
5)Cuticle and stomata are absent.
6)The bryophytes show alternation of generations - the haploid gametophyte (producing gametes for sexual reproduction) alternates with diploid sporophyte (producing spores for asexual reproduction).
