Question

Bryophytes are also called ‘amphibians of the plant kingdom’ because

  1. Water is essential for reproduction  
  2. They are occur in only water  
  3. These plants can live in soil but are dependent on water for sexual reproduction  
  4. Water is essential for spore formation  

The correct answer is: These plants can live in soil but are dependent on water for sexual reproduction


    Bryophytes are dependent on water for reproduction, because sperms must swim to the archegonia. They are partly adapted to the land, because the gametes develop in protective structures, i.e., antheridia and archegonia. So, bryophytes are also called ‘amphibians of the plant kingdom’
