Seedless vascular plants with jointed stems are primarily represented by the group known as horsetails, belonging to the genus Equisetum. These plants have a distinctive appearance characterized by their segmented, jointed stems and whorled leaves. They reproduce via spores rather than seeds and are often found in moist environments. Horsetails are considered ancient plants, with a lineage dating back to the time of the dinosaurs.
Mosses are non-vascular plants whereas ferns are vascular. In ferns Sporophyte is dominant but in mosses gametophyte is dominant generation. Ferns have definite roots but in mosses leaves and roots are mostly false.
The stems and roots of seedless vascular plants contain vascular tissue, which includes xylem and phloem for transporting water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant. This vascular tissue allows for the efficient transport of resources, supporting the growth and function of the plant.
The vascular plant characterized by jointed, needle-like branches is the horsetail, belonging to the genus Equisetum. Horsetails are ancient plants and are known for their distinctive segmented stems and whorls of needle-like leaves. They thrive in moist environments and can often be found in wetlands or along riverbanks. Their unique structure and reproductive methods set them apart from most other vascular plants.
Perhaps. There are water plants however that have roots, stems, and leaves.
Plants having vascular bundles are collectively called tracheophytes.
Not all vascular plants have seeds. Some plants (like club mosses) are vascular and produce spores. For example the phylum Lycophyta are club mosses and quill-worts. these plants produce spores but still have vascular roots, stems, and one vascular vein in each leaf.
There are several characteristics that can help to identify a plant as a horsetail. Horsetails are vascular plants with hollow, jointed stems. They are seedless and have scale-like leaves arranged in a whorl pattern.
Mosses are non-vascular plants whereas ferns are vascular. In ferns Sporophyte is dominant but in mosses gametophyte is dominant generation. Ferns have definite roots but in mosses leaves and roots are mostly false.

whisk ferns
Vascular Plants, transport water from the roots to the stems and leaves
Perhaps. There are water plants however that have roots, stems, and leaves.
Plants having vascular bundles are collectively called tracheophytes.
Hibiscus plants have a woody stem.
yes vascular plants can grow to be quite large because they have roots or stems
Yes, horsetails are vascular plants. They have specialized tissues for transporting water and nutrients throughout their stems and leaves.
In term of reproduction within the life cycle to main difference is that seed plants spread seed in order to reproduce whereas seedless vascular plants spread spores in order to continue the life cycle.
