What is another word for psilophytales?
Pronunciation: [sˈɪləfˌɪte͡ɪlz] (IPA) 
Psilophytales, also known as Psilopsids, are a group of fern-like, vascular plants that existed during the Devonian and Carboniferous periods. Some synonyms for Psilophytales include Whisk Ferns, Psilotales, and Psilophytes. These plants lack true leaves and roots, and instead have flattened photosynthetic stems that absorb water and nutrients from the soil. They reproduced through spores and are believed to be ancestral to modern ferns and seed plants. Despite their primitive appearance, Psilophytales were a successful group during their time, and their fossils provide valuable insights into the evolution of plant life on Earth.
