Difference between bryophytes and pteridophytes​

The defining features of bryophytes are:

✌️Their life cycles are dominated by the gametophyte stage

✌️Their sporophytes are unbranched

✌️They do not have a true vascular tissue containing lignin (although some have specialized tissues for the transport of water)

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. The stem is either underground or aerial. The leaves may be microphylls or megaphylls. Their other common characteristics include vascular plant apomorphies (e.g., vascular tissue) and land plant plesiomorphies (e.g., spore dispersal and the absence of seeds
