What are the major differences of bryophytes and the fern and fern allies? 2. Compared to bryophytes, how do the advance features of "ferns" help them grow more in size. 3. Is it possible that "ferns" arise from the bryophytes? Why do you say so?

Question

1. What are the major differences of bryophytes and the fern and fern allies? 2. Compared to bryophytes, how do the advance features of "ferns" help them grow more in size. 3. Is it possible that "ferns" arise from the bryophytes? Why do you say so?

Definition Definition Group of plant species that utilize spores, instead of flowers or seeds, for sexual reproduction. Bryophytes reproduce asexually through fragmentation or by the production of gemmae. Non-vascular seedless plants, which include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts, are classified as bryophytes.
