Detailed explanation-1: -Pteridophytes are vascular plants and have leaves (known as fronds), roots and sometimes true stems, and tree ferns have full trunks. Examples include ferns, horsetails and club-mosses.

Detailed explanation-2: -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 systems is always adventitious.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pteridophytes are ancient plants commonly called ferns or fern allies. Pteridophytes are considered a class of plants that fall between bryophytes and seed plants in evolutionary terms. Ferns and their allies are found everywhere, and they are some of the most prevalent plants in certain ecosystems.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ferns are not bryophytes. They are pteridophytes. Ferns possess well-defined roots, stems, and leaves. They have a well-developed vascular system.
