What are common characteristics to both to bryophytes and to seedless vascular plants?

Answer 1

Reliance on water, simple bodies

Bryophtes (mosses) and seedless vascular plants (mostly ferns) have similar characteristics: they are water-fertile, lack complex xylem and phloem, lack complex gametophytes, and have simple root-like systems rather than the complex root systems found in other vascular groups. Some seedless vascular plant groups, such as bryophtes, are homosporus; they also share archegonia and antheridia.

In addition to lacking seeds and having a gametophyte-dominant life cycle, bryophytes and seedless vascular plants both need water for sexual reproduction.
