Question
Bryophytes have all of the following characteristics excepta) multicellularityb) lignified vascular tissuec) specialised cells and tissuesd) a reduced, dependent sporophyte
Solution
Bryophytes are multicellular (a), have specialized cells and tissues (c), and a reduced, dependent sporophyte (d). However, they do not have lignified vascular tissue (b). This is a characteristic of more advanced plants, allowing them to transport water and nutrients more efficiently. Bryophytes, on the other hand, lack true vascular tissue and must rely on diffusion and osmosis for the transport of water and nutrients. Therefore, the correct answer is b) lignified vascular tissue.
