Question:

Fern is an example of which plant group?

Options:

Phanerogams

Bryophyta

Pteridophyta

Thallophyta

Correct Answer:

Pteridophyta

Explanation:

- Ferns are an example of a group of plants known as "pteridophytes."

- Pteridophytes are a diverse group of vascular plants that reproduce and disperse using spores instead of seeds.

- They do not produce flowers or fruits like angiosperms (flowering plants) or gymnosperms (seed-producing plants). Instead, pteridophytes, including ferns, reproduce by releasing spores, which are tiny, dust-like structures that contain the potential to develop into new individuals under favorable conditions.
