Question
Which of the following statement is true for bryophyta ?Along with water absorption roots also provide anchorment to plantsSporophyte is dominantGametophyte is dominant and sporophyte is mostly dependentGametophyte is parasitic
Solution
The true statement for Bryophyta is "Gametophyte is dominant and sporophyte is mostly dependent".
In Bryophyta, the gametophyte is the dominant, photosynthetic stage of the life cycle. It is the stage that we typically think of as the "moss" or "liverwort". The sporophyte is a smaller, dependent stage that grows out of the gametophyte. It is responsible for producing spores, which can grow into new gametophytes.
The other statements are not true for Bryophyta. They do not have true roots, so they do not absorb water or provide anchorage in the same way as the roots of vascular plants. The gametophyte is not parasitic; it is an independent organism that can photosynthesize and support itself.
