Pteridophytes

Pteridophytes are the first terrestrial vascular plants. Carolus Linnaeus classified them under the group cryptogamae. Pteridophytes occupy a transitional position between bryophytes and spermatophytes.

For Example, Silver fern, Equisetum, Selaginella

The general characteristics of Pteridophytes are:

  1. They are seedless.
  2. They are multicellular.
  3. They reproduce through spores.
  4. They are independent and free-living organisms.
  5. They have a well-differentiated plant body into root, stem and leaves.
