Prof. Dr. İsmail EKER. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF. . SEEDLESS . VASCULAR PLANTS. There are two types of leaves that may be found on seedless vascular plants. Microphylls. Small and have a single vascular strand. Mosses and Liverworts. Ferns and Horsetails. Mosses and Liverworts. Small. Live on bark, rocks, and soil. No vascular system. Must live in places that are wet. No true roots, stems, or leaves. Mosses. The earliest plants were similar to today’s mosses. They grew close to damp ground and depended on water to complete their life cycles (to carry the gametes).. Kingdom . Plantae. (page 550). Characteristics:.

Pg. 54-56. Kingdom Plantae. Land plants – some terrestrial, some aquatic.. High diversity with distinguishing characteristics.. Kingdom Plantae . 4 main groups:. Bryophta. (mosses, liverworts, hornworts). Xylem vs. Phloem. Seeds vs. Spores. Root Types. largest group . well-developed system for transporting water and food; they have true roots, stems, and leaves.. help circulate water and food throughout the plant.. Scientists sort plants into different groups, just like they do animals.. Nonvascular plants do not have true roots, stems, or leaves because they don’t have veins.. Because they absorb water and food from their surroundings, they cannot grow very tall.. General Biology II. BSC 2011.
