They are one of the first vascular plants that appeared on Earth, which were limited to waterlogged areas and soon began to expand to dry land.
Zosterophyllum was a plant, which may have been the ancestor of the lycopodia, it had a rhizome from which rhizoids arose that served to fix the plant to the ground, but it lacked true roots, from the rhizome came a stem that was photosynthetic, since this type of plant lacked leaves, the sporangia were lateral and contained the spores.
