Need H2O
1st to show embryonic condition
o Male = antheridium
o Female = archegonium
Water (flagellated) sperm
No vascular tissue (take up water
through diffusion and osmosis)
No lignin (short)
Dominant generation: Haploid (n)
Ferns
True roots and leaves
Lignified vascular tissue in roots (can
be taller than bryophytes)

seeds
Ovules and seeds develop on
specialized leaves sporophylls
Vascular tissue refinement
o Tracheids ~ water conducting
supportive element of xylem
o Thinner and taller
All flowering plants!
