Spirogyra belongs to which group of plant kingdom? |
Bryophyta Angiosperms Pteridophyta Thallophyta |
Thallophyta |
The correct answer is Option (4) - Thallophyta Certainly! Let's explore each option: 1. Bryophyta: Bryophyta represents the group of non-vascular plants, including mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. These plants lack true vascular tissues, such as xylem and phloem. Spirogyra does not belong to this group. 2. Angiosperms: Angiosperms are flowering plants characterized by enclosed seeds within ovaries (fruits). Spirogyra is not an angiosperm; it is a type of green algae. 3. Pteridophyta: Pteridophyta includes ferns, horsetails, and club mosses. These plants have vascular tissues but do not produce seeds; instead, they reproduce via spores. Spirogyra is not classified under Pteridophyta. 4. Thallophyta: Thallophyta represents a group of plants with a thallus-like structure, lacking true roots, stems, and leaves. It includes algae, fungi, and lichens. Spirogyra, being a filamentous green alga, falls under the Thallophyta group. Summary:
