Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
Pteridophytes have a true root, stem and leaf and are the first plants with vascular tissue. They reproduce by spores borne in sporangia, usually on the underside of the leaves. They still need water for fertilisation, since the male gametes are motile. Dryopteris is an example.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
