Fun Facts About Lycophytes

Acknowledgments

I would like to thank Professor Shackleford for giving me this opportunity to research and gain more knowledge about a new topic and create an infographic about it. I would also thank the RSC and my peers for all the helpful feedback.

    Thanks for sharing the informative infographic on lycophytes. It’s fascinating to learn about their ancient origins dating back over 400 million years. Both vascular and nonvascular plants have found ways to adapt and absorb water and nutrients. The color scheme of the infographic was lovely, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was exciting to learn about lycophytes; thanks again for sharing!

    I’m so confused, so I’ve seen other infographics about bryophytes, and these lycophytes sound like the exact same thing. For example, rhizomes, having vascular tissue, being an old species, and having roots only for anchoring. Are they the same group but with different names? Or am I just missing something? I’m not an expert in these plant groups

    Hi Natalie! This infographic has been put together in such a professional manner. I really like the icons and visuals that you used to draw the attention of the readers. Although I was familiar with lycophytes, I was unaware of their propensity to catch fire. I’ll have to add that to my list of strange worries now!  Regardless, I’m sure that carrying out this research was a highly interesting and enjoyable experience. Great job!

    Great Infographic Natalie! I really liked your fun facts about lycophytes. I don’t really think they are talked about enough, I found it interesting that species living today of lycophytes are one of the earliest forms of plants. Nice work!
