no vascularisation (xylem and phloem)
release sporangia to reproduce
have a root like structure called rhizoid to anchor them
Prevent flooding
found in clumps in damp places like swamps

pinnate leaves
no seeds
shallow roots
reproduce by spores on the underside of the leave (sori)

vascular
non motile seeds ( male and female cones)
provide shelter
EG: Pine trees |
| What are the features of angiospermophyta? (5) | vascular
reproduce by seeds in ovules (can become fruits)
mono / dicotyledons
transfer pollen from anther to stigma to reproduce
EG: flowers and grasses |

no mouth or anus
calcium spicules for structure
aquatic
