The kingdom Metaphyta (or the plant kingdom in its true sense) includes all the eukaryotic, multicellular, photosynthetic plants found in this biosphere. It consists of three major groups of plants algae, bryophytes and tracheophytes. The group algae includes primarily aquatic or semi aquatic multi..

Tracheophytes include the true land plants or vascular plants. The adult plant body is a sporophyte and shows definite root, stem and leaves. Vascular tissues xylem and phloem are present for the translocation of water and food respectively. Gametophytic phase is short lived. It may be parasitic on..

Tracheophytes (Vascular plants) - Tracheophytes include the true land plants or vascular plants. The adult plant body is a sporophyte and shows definite root, stem and leaves. Vascular tissues xylem and phloem are present for the translocation of water and food respectively. Gametophytic phase is s..

>The adult plant body is a gametophyte. It contains reproductive structures called antheridia which produces male gametes and archegonia which produces the egg cell. The fertilised egg develops into a sporophyte which remains attached to the gametophyte, leading a parasitic life. The sporophyte pro..
