Seedless plants

Vascular plants

Bryophytes

Nonvascular plants

Lacks phloem and xylem

Stay short and close to the ground

Have xylem & phloem

Must live in a moist habitat

Angiosperms

Reproduce asexually or through spores

Gymnosperms

Lack true leaves and stems and roots

Include hornwarts, liverworts, and algae.

Includes seedless plants like club mosses, ferns and horsetails

They do not have vascular tissue that can transport water.

They have a genetic disease that affects their ability to grow.

They are made of xylem and phloem so they must be close to water.

They must use all of their nutrients to produce seeds and therefore cannot grow taller.

Rose and algae could be grouped together as a vascular plant since they have roots, stems, and leaves.

Pine tree and rose could be grouped together as a vascular plant since they have roots, stems, and leaves.

Fern and pine tree could be grouped together as seeded vascular plants since they both reproduce with seeds.

Fern and algae could be grouped together as non-seeded vascular plants since they both do not reproduce with seeds.
