• C. Vascular Cryptogams
• D. Amphibians of Plant Kingdom

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Answer (c) Vascular Cryptogams

Answer 2

Pteridophytes are vascular plants that reproduce by releasing spores rather than seeds. They include real ferns and other beautiful woodland plants. Pteridophytes are the most varied plants, with over 11,000 distinct species. Pteridophytes come in a wide range of sizes. Small floating ferns are employed as "green fertilizers" in fertile paddies. Pteridophytes are sometimes known as "vascular cryptogams" since they do not produce flowers or seeds and have conduction tissues known as vascular bundles. Pteridophytes are plants that do not produce seeds and reproduce solely through the formation of spores. They flourish in damp soil.
Pteridophytes include ferns, horsetail, clubmosses, spikemosses, etc. They do not form monophyletic groups because ferns and horsetails are more closely related to seed plants than lycophytes.
