Which plant structure helps in attaching the bryophytes to the substratum?
Rhizoids
Why is the seta and capsule known as the sporophyte generation?
The cap like structure on the capsule of the sporophyte generation in a bryophyte is the operculum. The structure that covers the capsule of the sporophyte in bryophytes is calyptra.
Structures in tracheophytes that are similar to rhizoids in bryophytes?
bryophytes are non vascular plants while tracheophytes are vascular plant
What are major characters of Bryophytes?
Bryophytes are non-vascular i.e. They don't have Xylem and Phloem in them. They are amphibious plants because they need water for reproduction. In most cases there is cuticle over epidermis to prevent water loss. They are considered to be evolved from Green Algae. They live in moist and shady habitats. There is a heteromorphic alternation of generation in the life cycle of bryophytes and the Gametophytic haploid generation is dominant and photosynthetic and Sporophytes are recessive and depend on Gametophyte for their nutrition. The body shape of these plants is either thalloid (lacks differentiation) or is differentiated into a false root, shoot and Rhizome; which is a false, root like structure used to anchor plant in soil.
What is the root system called in a bryophyte?
Bryophytes do not have organized root system as in case of vascular plants. The absorption of water and minerals take place through rhizoides.
Are rootlike structure found in bryophytes?
They are called rhizoids.
In what structure does meiosis occur in bryophytes?
Meiosis occurs in the sporophyte.
Which plant structure helps in attaching the bryophytes to the substratum?
Rhizoids
What has the author E Vernon Watson written?
E. Vernon Watson has written: 'The structure and life of bryophytes' -- subject(s): Bryophytes
Why is the seta and capsule known as the sporophyte generation?
The cap like structure on the capsule of the sporophyte generation in a bryophyte is the operculum. The structure that covers the capsule of the sporophyte in bryophytes is calyptra.
In hat structure does meiosis occur in bryophytes?
Meiosis occurs in the nucleus of a cell. This is true for bryophytes and all other animals since it is a conserved process.
Is a plant with out a root stem a plant?
Yes, for example Bryophytes have no defined root, stem and leaves. Still they are regarded as plants.
Structures in tracheophytes that are similar to rhizoids in bryophytes?
bryophytes are non vascular plants while tracheophytes are vascular plant
What characteristics do bryophytes share with alge?
non-motile gametes and cell wall structure.

Which of the following would be associated with vascular plants A root systems B bryophytes C angiosperms D gymnosperms E shoot systems?
A. root systems B. bryophytes C. angiosperms D. gymnosperms E. shoot systems Answer= C. angiosperms
Do bryophytes have lignified tissue?
Bryophytes are small, low growing plants that are found in moist environments. Bryophytes do not have lignified tissue. Lignified tissue is hard like a tree bark.
