Vascular plants are also known as _________, which means tube plants
tracheophytes
Plants with vascular system
vascular plants
▪ Carries water and minerals to the leaves
▪ Consists of dead cells that lack end walls
between adjacent cells.
Xylem:
The side walls are thick and reinforced with
lignin to be stiff and waterproof.
Xylem:
▪ Conducts food from leaves to all parts of the
plant
Phloem:
Consists of living cells that are separated by
end walls with tiny perforations
Phloem:
Seedless and flowerless plant
Plants that reproduce by spores
They have roots stems and fronds
PTERIDOPHYTES
They are the most primitive.
The stem is photosynthetic and dichotomously
branched
Psilopsida
ferns, horsetail, lycophytes (club mosses) are examples of……

Psilopsida
Lycopsida
Sphenopsida
Pteropsida
o Aka club moss.
o Well-differentiated plant body with adventitious
root, stem, rhizophores, and leaves.
Lycopsida
Rhizoids are present.
o Leaves are mostly absent.
o The sporophyte is homosporous synangium. o Examples: Psilotum and Tmesipteris.
Psilopsida
o The sporophyte is homosporous or heterosporous.
o Examples- Selaginella, Lycopodium.
Lycopsida
o Aka as horsetail.
o Well-differentiated plant body with roots arising
from nodes of the underground rhizome, stem,
and scaly leaves.
Sphenopsida
o Homosporous, sporangia are borne on strobili.
o Examples: Equisetum.
Sphenopsida
o Aka fern.
o Well-differentiated plant body with roots, stem, and leaves.
Pteropsida
The sporophyte is homosporous or heterosporous.
o Antherozoids are multiflagellate.
o Examples: Pteris, Dryopteris, Adiantum
Pteropsida
o Aka seed plant, phanerogam, or phaenogam
o Seed-bearing plants
o They do not use spores for reproduction
Spermatophyte

o “Naked seed”
o Reproduce by making naked seeds on cone scales or leaves.
Gymnosperms
o Cycads, allies, and conifers (means “cone
bearing”)
o Example: pine trees
