What is a rhizoid?

What do bryophytes have instead of roots?

What do transport tubes carry?

List three kinds of bryophytes and three kinds of tracheophytes

Many for trachophyte- teacher discretion
What is a tracheophyte?

True
Compare and contrast the ways in which bryophytes and trachophytes reproduce.
Bryophytes have spores which they release to form new plants. They need water to reproduce. Trachophytes dp not specifically need water to reproduce. Most tracheophytes use seeds, not spores.
What is a vascular plant?
A plant that has transport tubes.
What are the two phases of bryophyte life?
Gamete-producing, spore-producing
Why are tracheophytes considered vascular plants?
Because they have transport tissue.
Compare the stems and leaves of bryophytes and tracheophytes.
Trachophytes have true stems and leaves. Bryophytes have no stems and have small leaf-like fibers.
What are bryophytes?
Plants that are non-vascular/do not have transport tubes.
What is a pioneer plant?

What is a spore?
