Answer #1

Answer would be "D" i.e. Whisk fern.

Bryophytes are class of non-vascular plants and are classified into 3 major groups:

Liverwort(Hepaticae)

Mosses(Musci)

Hornwort(Anthocerotae)

WHEREAS

Whisk fern(Psilotum species) is a seedless, fern like vascular plant.

It comes under class Psilotopsida of division Pteridophyta(lower vascular plants).

It has water and food conducting tissues but it lacks true leaves and roots. In place of root , rhizome is present which is modified underground stem and the interior part of stem conduct food and water.

Mycorrhizal association is present there for obtaining vital nutrients.

Hope this helps you.. Thank you ??
