Thallophyta, bryophyta and pteridophyta are called as ‘Cryptogams’. Gymnosperms and Angiosperms are called as ‘phanerogams’. Discuss why? Draw one example of Gymnosperm.
The Thallophyta, bryophyta and pteridophyta are called as �Cryptogams�
because the reproductive organs of these groups are inconspicuous or hidden.
Seeds are absent. On the other hand �Phanerogams� include gymnosperms and
angiosperms which have well
differentiated reproductive tissue and the embryo with stored food. Embryo
develops into seed.
