Vedclass · Answer

(A) The genus $Selaginella$ belongs to the class $Lycopsida$ of the division $Pteridophyta$. $Selaginella$ is characterized by the presence of heterospory,meaning it produces two types of spores: microspores and megaspores. Additionally,the leaves of $Selaginella$ are small (microphylls) and possess a small,scale-like outgrowth at the base on the adaxial surface known as a $ligule$. Therefore,the presence of heterospory and ligulate leaves is a diagnostic feature of $Selaginella$.
