Seedless vascular plant

A generalized seedless vascular land plant with a primitive terrestrial appearance, shown as an upright green plant taller and more structured than a bryophyte. It has a distinct stem-based body plan with true vascular stems and visible veins, bearing fern-like fronds, narrow leaves, or simple branching leafy structures. The foliage may be feathery, divided into delicate leaflets, or scale-like, and the plant may arise from a small root or fibrous root base. It lacks flowers, fruits, cones, and seeds, and may optionally show spore-bearing structures such as small brown sori on fronds or cone-like tips in horsetail-like forms.
