Question

3. State two reasons why mosses and ferns are considered as primitive plants.
4. Discuss the main differences between bryophytes and ferns.

Definition Definition Group of plant species that utilize spores, instead of flowers or seeds, for sexual reproduction. Bryophytes reproduce asexually through fragmentation or by the production of gemmae. Non-vascular seedless plants, which include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts, are classified as bryophytes.
