all Tracheophytes have solved problems
of gravity, fluid transport and H2O loss
have woody skeleton, xylem and
phloem vessels, stomata & cuticle
but vary in development of roots and leaves
& adaptation of reproductive structures
all show great reduction of haploid
gametophyte generation - main "plant"
becomes the SPOROPHYTE
