A) algae
B) ferns
C) moss
D) Cycas
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Indusium is a membranous structure which covers a group of sporangia below it. It is differentiated into a kidney shaped dorsal plate called hood and a short stalk through which it remain attached with the undersurface of the pinnule at a swollen base called placenta. The sporangia attached with a placenta form a group called soru (plural son). Different types of sorus (Simple, Gradate, Mixed) are seen to be present in a box like structure called sporocarp formed on the vegetative leaf i.e., fronds of ferns. Such spore producing structure, sorus, covered by a membranous structure is not found in any group of plants (Algae, pryophyta Gymnospcrms) except, ferns, of Pteridophyta.
