Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

True water-conducting tissue is not a derived character from either green algae or embryophytes. Green plants consist of mostly aquatic “green algae” and a group known as embryophytes

Non-vascular plants are plants without a vascular system which is xylem and phloem.

Because green algae lack lignified water-conducting tissues, they cannot be tall as most vascular plants.

Green algae consist of several unrelated groups and they lack vascular tissue.

Most scientists would consider green

True water conducting tissue consist of xylem. It is a plant vascular tissue that moves water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant and also provides physical support.

Xylem tissue comorises of a different specialized, water-conducting cells commonly called tracheary elements

Conclusively, Since water conducting tissue is xylem which is absence in Green algae and embryophytes, they can therefore not be regarded as both.
