What type of stem do bryophytes have?

Bryophytes are knwon as amphiban of plant kingdom they do not have true stem their body gametophytic independent haploid and autotrophic and is divided in following parts:1. Thalloid: thalus like eg. Riccia2. Foliase: have leaf like body Mosserso u can say that its stem is thallus like


What do bryophytes need a film of water for?

Bryophytes, such as mosses and liverworts, need a film of water for reproduction. The sperm of bryophytes require water to swim to the egg for fertilization, as they do not have specialized structures for pollen transfer like flowering plants. Additionally, water helps in the dispersal of spores for reproduction in bryophytes.


Which plant structure helps in attaching the bryophytes to the substratum?

Rhizoids help bryophytes attach to the substrate. These are hair-like structures that anchor the plants into the soil or other surfaces and also aid in water and nutrient absorption.


Do bryophytes produce seeds?

Yes, bryophytes produce pollen, but they also produce spores through alternation of generations. During the haploid (N) gametophyte stage of the pant's life, eggs and sperm are produced. The eggs are fertilized to form a diploid (2N) sporophyte plant which produces spores.


Structures in tracheophytes that are similar to rhizoids in bryophytes?

Root hairs in tracheophytes are similar to rhizoids in bryophytes as both structures aid in absorption of water and nutrients from the soil. However, root hairs are multicellular extensions of roots, while rhizoids are single-celled structures that anchor bryophytes to the substrate and absorb water.
