Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

The stem of a horsetail is characterized by the presence of joints, or nodes: hence the name Arthrophyta, which means “jointed plant”. Leaves and branches come out as whorls from the evenly spaced rings. The needle-shaped leaves do not contribute greatly to photosynthesis, the majority of which takes place in the green stem (Figure 14.15).

 Choices:

- solid plant

- molted plant

- elongated plant

- jointed plant


A:
jointed plant
