Thallophyta These plants mainly grow in water. Algae Thallophyta mainly grows in water and do not have differentiated leaves, stem and roots so the body is thallus like. An example is algae. These are autotrophic due to the presence of chlorophyll. Bryophyta These plants need water for reproduction. Moss Bryophytes need water for sexual reproduction because the flagellated sperm swim to the non-motile egg in order to fertilize it. An example is a moss. This group of plants are called amphibians. Pteridophyta Tissues are present for conduction of water and food. Fern Well-developed roots, stem, leaves, and tissue system for conduction of water and food. An example is Fern. These reproduce by spores and lack reproductive organs and seeds. Gymnosperms No natural covering on seeds. Cycas Seeds produced is naked because no ovary is present. e.g. Cycas Angiosperms Seeds are formed in fruits Tamarind Ovary in angiosperms develop into fruits and ovules develop into seeds enclosed within the fruit. eg Tamarind.
