Expert Answer
a) Cryptogams are plants whose reproductive organs are very inconspicuous. They include thallophytes (plants with ndifferentiated body), bryophytes (plants showing differentiated body but without vascular system) and pteridophytes (plants with well-differentiated body and well-developed vascular system). These plants do not bear seeds or flowers.
b) Phanerogams - These are plants with well-differentiated reproductive tissues that ultimately make seeds. The plant body is differentiated into root, stem and leaves. Also they possess well-developed vascular system. They include gymnosperms and angiosperms.
