Vegetables are eukaryotic, multicellular autotrophs that are capable of photosynthesis to produce their own food. They lack the ability to move but their roots will grow toward water and their stems will grow toward light. Vegetables are classified into groups including bryophytes, pteridophytes, gymnosperms, and angiosperms based on characteristics like their reproductive structures and whether they have vascular tissue. Gymnosperms like pines and cypresses have naked seeds not contained within fruits, while angiosperms include both monocotyledons and dicotyledons which may have one or two embryonic leaves within their seeds.

15. Pteridofitas
Metafitas are edged with cells grouped into
specialized tissues for transporting nutrients. Are
therefore cormofÃticas plants.
Found in moist, shady areas. Possessing conducting
tissues, which act as supporting tissues allowed to
rise even above the ground, which can capture light
more easily than bryophytes. However, as the latter
need the rain or dew to reproduce.
