The four groups of terrestrial plants are bryophytes (mosses and liverworts), pteridophytes (ferns and their relatives), gymnosperms (conifers and cycads), and angiosperms (flowering plants). These groups vary in their reproductive structures and evolutionary history.
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.

gymnosperms
The first pteridophytes appeared around 400 million years ago during the Silurian period.
The major groups of Plantae are bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, and hornworts), pteridophytes (ferns and horsetails), gymnosperms (conifers, cycads, ginkgoes), and angiosperms (flowering plants). Each group has unique characteristics and reproductive strategies.
