Question
Chapter 28.3, Problem 2SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The types of structures in ferns, whisk fern, and horsetails that fulfill the roles of roots and leaves.
Introduction:
Minilophyta is a phylum comprisin many species of vascular plants. They reproduce through spores and contain water-conducting tissues. These plants do not produce seeds and flowers, and have a dominant sporophytic phase. The common example includes ferns, horsetails, and whisks ferns.
