Bryophyta
b) Liverworts – simple rootless plants with or
without stems & leaves.

Vascular Plants

Also called the Tracheophyta

Includes three main groups
Ferns
Gymnosperms
Angiosperms
FERNS

Have large leaves that are divided into smaller
parts that also look like miniature leaves
(called fronds)
FRONDS
FERNS

Reproduce through spores (which are located
underneath the leaves).
Spore case
Gymnosperms
1.
2.
Have “male” and “female” cones that produce pollen and
ovules
If pollination occurs, seeds are produced in the female cone
that are not protected by a fruit.
