UPSC NDA-1 – 2018
– Vascular tissue first evolved in Pteridophytes.
– Funaria is a genus of moss, belonging to the Bryophyta, not a fungus. Fungi are heterotrophic organisms belonging to a separate kingdom.
– Phanerogams are seed-bearing plants (Gymnosperms and Angiosperms). Pteridophytes (ferns, horsetails) reproduce by spores and are classified as Cryptogams. Therefore, not all Pteridophytes are Phanerogams.
