Bryophytes are mosses which are non- vascular plants that can't transport fluids through their bodies. They rely on surrounding moisture to do this for them. They are mostly found in forested areas as a foundation for plant growth. Mosses, liverworts,and hornworts reproduce by spores, never have flowers, and can be found growing on the ground, on rocks, and on other plants.
Pteridophytes are ferns that have a vascular system that can help transport water through the body unlike the moss. They reproduce from spores and have about 12,000 species form the main phylum ferm. The other phylas are horsetails, club mosses, and whisk ferns.
Gymnosperms reproduce from seeds that are not covered by an ovary. The seed is produced inside a pine cone. The trees and shurbs have no flowers but are needle-like and scale-like. There are about 600 species.
Angiosperms grow seeds inside an ovary which is in a flower. After it fertilizes the flower falls off and the ovary becomes grows to a fruit.
