Explanation: I just did it and got them all right

Answer 2

Answer: Cyanobacteria, bryophytes, Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms, Angiosperms, Sporophytic phase, and Gametophytic

Step-by-step explanation:

Cyanobacteria or blue green algae were the first or earliest known plants which appeared on earth they performed the process of photosynthesis by using water and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to produce oxygen gas. Bryophytes were the first land plants on earth including the mosses and liverworts, these plants did not had the vascular system and true roots, stems, and leaves. Pteridophytes are the plants that have vascular system. Gymnosperms are the plants that have naked ovules and the seeds are enclosed in the woody covering called cone. The angiosperms are the flowering plants, which develops seeds after fertilization gets enclosed in a fruit. The sporophytic phase, involves the development of a dominant sporophyte which produces spores which on germination produces a gametophytes which produces gametes (male and female) for fertilization.
