Vedclass · Answer

(D) Bryophytes and pteridophytes share several characteristics,such as the presence of motile antherozoids,the presence of archegonia,and the requirement of water for fertilization.However,they differ significantly in their internal structure.Bryophytes are non-vascular plants,meaning they lack specialized vascular tissues ($xylem$ and $phloem$).In contrast,pteridophytes are the first terrestrial plants to possess true vascular tissues ($xylem$ and $phloem$).Therefore,the lack of vascular tissue is a key feature that distinguishes bryophytes from pteridophytes.
