D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The ferns, gymnosperms, and flowering plants are all vascular plants. Because they possess vascular tissues, these plants have true stems, leaves, and roots.

Detailed explanation-2: -All land plants except Bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, and hornworts) have true roots. Bryophytes have root-like structures called rhizoids that anchor them to their substrate but are not involved in water absorption (which is less important for Bryophytes because they can only survive in very moist environments).

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Non-vascular plants do not have true roots, leaves, or stems. Examples of non-vascular plants include moss, liverwort, and hornwort. They contain root-like structures called rhizoids, which help stabilize the plant and attach it to a surface.

Detailed explanation-4: –Gymnosperms are the plants having true stem, and root. They have naked seeds hence the name given gymnosperm. They possess needle-like leaves. The seeds are produced on the cones.

Detailed explanation-5: -Taproot is an example of true root. It is the main root descending downward from the radicle and giving off small lateral roots.
