They are horsetails and club mosses.
Non-vascular plants (mosses and their relatives), Seedless vascular plants (ferns and their relatives), Gymnosperms (cone-bearing plants), and Angiosperms (flowering plants)
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.
The fungi Ferns belong to Pteridophyta group of vascular plants.
The study of ferns is called pteridology. Pteridologists study the biology, classification, evolution, ecology, and conservation of ferns and their relatives, such as horsetails and clubmosses. Ferns are vascular plants that reproduce via spores and have characteristic fronds.
Three groups of seedless vascular plants: Ferns, Mosses, Liverworts.
The five main types of plants are flowering plants (angiosperms), non-flowering plants (gymnosperms), ferns, mosses, and liverworts. Each type of plant has unique characteristics and reproductive structures.
Ferns, mosses and some others
The 3 main groups of seedless vascular plants are: ferns, horsetails and club mosses.
Marselia, Horsetail, club mosses are all relatives of ferns and belong to pteridophyta. Some close relatives are tree ferns and Birdnest fern etc.
Fern fossils come from ferns. Ferns are plants, not animals. Hence, fern fossils are plants, not animals.

Ferns are the most abundant group of seedless vascular plants, with about 12,000 living species. Recent research indicates that they may be the closest relatives to the seed plants. The fossil record indicates that ferns originated during the Devonian period about 350 million years ago and became abundant and varied in form during the next 50 million years. Their apparent ancestors had no broad leaves and were established on land as much as 375 million years ago.
