diffrence and similarities between angiosperms and broyophyte
The word bryophyte is the collective term for mosses, hornworts and liverworts and bryology is the study of bryophytes.They are spore-producing, rather than seed-producing, plants and they are all without flowers.Bryophytes may reproduce both sexually and asexually. In flowering plants the flowers are essential in the sexual reproductive cycle, with the pollen (the male gametes) from one flower typically being carried to another by wind, insects or animals. Once the pollen has been deposited it will fertilize the eggs in the receiving plant. Bryophytes have neither pollen nor flowers and rely on water to carry the male sperm to the female eggs. The spore capsules are produced after a male gamete (the sperm) has fertilized a female gamete (the egg). Hence the spores are part of the sexual reproductive cycle. In the majority of the bryophytes spore dispersal is by wind.

Angiosperms supporting tissues are advanced.Pollen is present in both.Seeds enclosed in fruits.
