Bryophytes do not have a vascular system.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bryophytes are Non-vascular type plants without a vascular system consisting of xylem and phloem .

Detailed explanation-2: -Bryophytes is the informal group name for mosses, liverworts and hornworts. They are non-vascular plants, which means they have no roots or vascular tissue, but instead absorb water and nutrients from the air through their surface (e.g., their leaves).

Detailed explanation-3: -Bryophytes (mosses, liverworts and hornworts) are cryptogams. Bryophytes are in complete contact with water and hence do not require vascular tissue.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bryophytes are distinct from other land plants (the “tracheophytes”) because they do not contain xylem, the tissue used by vascular plants to transport water internally. Instead, bryophytes get water and nutrients through their leaves.

Detailed explanation-5: -Therefore, “zygote undergoes meiosis” is the false statement about bryophytes.
