cryptogams r divided into three plants.thallaphytes, bryophytes and pterophytes . thallaphytes and bryophytes show the absense of true leaves,seeds and stems. pterophytes r the most complex cryptogams which show the presese of true leaves,stems and seeds but they dont have flowers.all types of ferns are pterophytes.
Cryptogams and Fanerogams
cryptogams are a form of wood lice they are comenly found in wood. the theory of algae having anything to do with wood lice uis a myth. no need to thank me.

Vascular cryptogams are non-seed plants that have vascular tissue to transport water and nutrients, but do not produce seeds. Examples include ferns, horsetails, and clubmosses. These plants reproduce through spores instead of seeds.

An antherozooid is one of the mobile male reproductive bodies in the antheridia of cryptogams, a form of plant which reproduces using spores.

Mosses, as bryophytes, are considered more advanced than other cryptogams like liverworts and hornworts due to their complex structures and adaptations. They possess specialized tissues for water and nutrient transport, which allows for greater efficiency in resource acquisition. Additionally, mosses exhibit a more developed reproductive system, including the formation of a sporophyte that is dependent on the gametophyte, enhancing their reproductive success. These traits enable mosses to thrive in a wider variety of environments compared to other cryptogams.
A cryptogam is a plant that reproduces by spores."Crytogamae" means hidden reproduction, referring to the fact that no seed is produced, thus cryptogams represent the non-seed bearing plants.Higher Cryptogames is a term used to describe plant with hidden reproductive organs and superior within Cryptogames.
CRYPTOGAMS-Reproductive Organs are hidden.External flower or seeds are absent.For e.g. Filices(ferns), Fungi, Algae etc.PHANEROGAMS-Reproductive Organs are visible.Well developed reproductive organs(flowers/seeds) are present.For e.g. Mango, Apple, Rose, SunFlower etc.I could only find three(technically two) of them only.
