The correct answer is Option (3)- Thallophyta
Thallophyta is the division of plants that does NOT have a well-differentiated body.
Explanation:
- Pteridophyta: These are vascular plants, including ferns, which have well-differentiated roots, stems, and leaves.
- Gymnosperms: Gymnosperms, like conifers, have a well-differentiated structure with distinct roots, stems, and leaves.
- Thallophyta: Thallophyta, such as algae and fungi, lack the typical differentiation into roots, stems, and leaves. They have a simple, undifferentiated body called a thallus.
- Bryophyta: Bryophytes, like mosses, have simple structures but do exhibit some differentiation into specialized tissues like rhizoids, stems, and leaves. However, these structures are less complex than those in Pteridophyta and Gymnosperms.
