What are the four groups of terrestrial 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.


What plant does not have flowers?

Ferns, mosses and gymnosperms


Why are ferns considered incompletely adapted to the terrestrial environment?

Ferns are considered incompletely adapted to the terrestrial environment because they require a moist environment for reproduction, as their sperm need water to swim to the egg. Additionally, their leaves have a large surface area which can lead to water loss in dry conditions. Finally, ferns reproduce via spores instead of seeds, which can be less protected and less likely to disperse successfully in a terrestrial environment.


Why do you think ferns are in a lesson with gymnosperms rather than in a lesson with mosses?

Because ferns (Pteridophyta) and gymnosperms are part of the larger category of vascular plants (Tracheophyta) and share common features that mosses lack. Perhaps also because of the spurious notion that "seed ferns" (Pteridospermatophyta), the ancestors of the gymnosperms, evolved from ferns. In fact, "seed ferns" are a large, heterogeneous category of plants which are generally believed to be only distantly related to true ferns.

Is a fir a gymnosperm?

Ferns are not gymnosperms. Gymnosperms are divided into 4 groups,cycads,ginkgoes,gnetophytes,and conifers.


What is the reproduction organ of a plant called?

For angiosperms: Flowers For gymnosperms: Cones For ferns: Spore


Why mosses are not as well adapted to terrestrial life as ferns?

Because mosses do not have xylem and phloem as vascular system. Also the dominant plant body in mosses is gametophytic which needs more moist and shady places.


Do gymnosperms depend on water?

Yes, gymnosperms do not depend on water for fertilization like mosses or ferns do. They reproduce through the dispersal of pollen, which does not require water as a medium for transportation.


What is the difference between ferns and gymnosperms?

Ferns are non-flowering plants that reproduce via spores, while gymnosperms are seed-producing plants with naked seeds (not enclosed in a fruit). Additionally, ferns typically have simple leaves with branching veins, while gymnosperms have needle-like or scale-like leaves.


What non-flowering plants you can find in your garden?

Ferns, mosses and gymnosperms (such as pines, cedar, cycas, cycad)
