2 examples of seedless vascular plants
Club Mosses
Ferns and their Allies
these plants’ roots come off a branching underground, and evolved as lower extensions of stem, their Leaves are microphylls (tiny leaves) as side extensions of stem
club mosses
thise plants (Approximately 11,000 specie)
Have megaphylls (broad leaves) called fronds
Dominant sporophyte produces windblown spores
Efficient at collecting solar energy
Ferns and their Allies

seed plants
in seed plants, the seed coat and stored food allow what to survive
an embryo to survive harsh conditions during dormancy
