Question
these are characteristics of which group of plants: xylem & phloem present, water required for fertilization? a seedless vascular plants b nonvascular plants c dicot angiosperms d gymnosperms e monocot angiosperms
Seedless vascular plants have xylem and phloem for transporting water, nutrients and food. They require water for fertilization as their sperm need to swim to the egg through a film of water. Non - vascular plants lack xylem and phloem. Dicots, monocots (angiosperms) and gymnosperms do not require water for fertilization in the same way as they have evolved pollen and other mechanisms for fertilization.
