      Question

      Ferns, horsetails and lycophytes belong to which of the

      following groups?
      A Bryophyta Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Pteridophyta Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Algae Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Fungi Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Ferns, horsetails (often treated as ferns), and lycophytes (clubmosses, spikemosses, and quillworts) are all pteridophytes. However, they do not form a monophyletic group because ferns (and horsetails) are more closely related to seed plants than to lycophytes.
