Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the characteristics of seedless vascular plants: These plants are a group of vascular plants that reproduce via spores rather than seeds. Examples include ferns, horsetails, and club mosses.
Recall the key feature of vascular plants: They possess vascular tissues, specifically xylem and phloem, which are responsible for the transport of water, nutrients, and food throughout the plant.
Eliminate incorrect options: Seedless vascular plants do not produce seeds for reproduction; they use spores. Additionally, they are not exclusively aquatic and can survive on land, unlike algae.
Clarify the distinction between seedless vascular plants and non-vascular plants: Non-vascular plants, such as mosses, lack true roots, stems, and leaves, whereas seedless vascular plants have these structures.
Conclude that the correct characteristic of seedless vascular plants is their possession of vascular tissues such as xylem and phloem, which distinguishes them from non-vascular plants.
