What is the oldest species of plant still in existence?
lycophytes
What does flowers does in plants?
Flowering plants do not have a sporophyte. They have antheridium and archegonium to produce their gametes. Sporophyte is found in ferns, mosses, club mosses, lycophytes, etc but not in flowering plants. Flowering plants produces pollen while a sporophyte produces spores
What are 3 plants that are vascular plants?
The four groups of vascular plants are Lycophytes, Pterophytes, Gymnosperms, and Angiosperms.Plants in the following groups are:Lycophytes: Club mosses, Spike Mosses, QuilwortsPterophytes: Ferns, Horsetails, Whisk FernsGymnosperms: Ginko tree, ConiferAngiosperms: Flowers
Are ferns the most primitive vascular plants?
Lycophytes are the most primitive vascular plants. There are some species in existence today such as the Selanginella molendorffii (spike moss). They appeared around 400 million years ago. The divergence of ferns (monilophytes) and seed plants (spermatophytes) occurred around 380 million years ago.

In what ways do Moses and club Moses?
The lycophytes are a small and inconspicuous group of plants today, but in the Carboniferous some lycophytes were forest-forming trees more than 35 meters tall. Lycophytes are the oldest extant group of vascular plants, and dominated major habitats for 40 million years. The club mosses (Lycopodiales) are usually evergreen, and have been used as Christmas decorations, though their flammable spores and increasing rarity has made this illegal in some states. Other lycophytes, such as Selaginella, may form extensive carpets in the understory of wet tropical forests. The most significant feature of lycophytes are microphylls, a kind of leaf which has arisen and evolved independently from the leaves of other vascular plants. The microphyll has only a single unbranched strand of vascular tissue, or vein, whereas megaphylls, found in other plants with leaves, have multiple veins, usually branching one or more times within the leaf.

What kinds of plants lived in the triassic period?
There were lycophytes, cycads, ginkgoes, and glossopterids. Conifers were the dominant trees in the northern hemisphere, and Glossopteris was the main tree like plant in the southern hemisphere.
What has the author Ray Neyland written?
Ray Neyland has written: 'A field guide to the ferns and lycophytes of Louisiana, including east Texas, southern Arkansas, and Mississippi' -- subject(s): Identification, Lycopodiaceae, Ferns
What reproductive features of lycophytes restrict them to moist and shady habitats and why?
The motile sperm need water so as to swim to meet the female egg. Also the spores when released need an environment with sufficient water so they can grow.
What does flowers does in plants?
Flowering plants do not have a sporophyte. They have antheridium and archegonium to produce their gametes. Sporophyte is found in ferns, mosses, club mosses, lycophytes, etc but not in flowering plants. Flowering plants produces pollen while a sporophyte produces spores
