Pteridophytes can be found in various habitats, including moist forests, wetlands, and along stream banks. They prefer environments with high humidity and ample water availability for reproduction through spores. Common examples of pteridophytes include ferns, horsetails, and clubmosses.
Stem of gymnosperm is aerial.Stem of pteridophytes are mostly underground.Tree Ferns have long aerial stems but these are Pteridophytes. The real difference is that gymnosperms bear seeds pteridophytes are without seeds.

Ferns belong to pteridophytes
gymnosperms
The first pteridophytes appeared around 400 million years ago during the Silurian period.
Pteridophytes have naked seeds called 'Spores'. It is a Cryptogammae as reproductive organs are not visible at all. Phanerogams have seeds which store food. Reproductive organs are visible. (Flowering Parts or Cones)
Pteridophytes are non-flowering vascular plants that reproduce by spores. They have well-developed roots, stems, and leaves, with xylem and phloem for nutrient transport. Most pteridophytes require moist environments for growth and reproduction.
No, pteridophytes do not have seeds. They reproduce via spores, which are released from structures called sporangia on the underside of their leaves. These spores develop into gametophytes that produce eggs and sperm for fertilization.
