Is Pteridophytes Vascular or Nonvascular?

Pteridophytes (ferns and lycophytes) are free-sporing vascular plants that have a life cycle with alternating, free-living gametophyte and sporophyte phases that are independent at maturity. The body of the sporophyte is well differentiated into roots, stem and leaves. The root system is always adventitious.

Are pteridophytes vascular?

The Pteridophytes are the most primitive vascular plants, having a simple reproductive system lacking flowers and seed. Pteridophytes evolved a system of xylem and phloem to transport fluids and thus achieved greater heights than was possible for their avascular ancestors.

Are pteridophytes vascular and seedless?

There is a strong overlap in the dominant phase of the life cycle during plant growth. The ferns and horsetails belong to pteridophytes. So, vascular cryptogams or seedless vascular plants belong to pteridophytes. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
