Question

A moss plant is unable to complete its life-cycle in a dry environment. State two reasons.

Answer 1

Answer:

• it can be a rabi crop plant
• it doesnt get enough water

Answer 2

Non-vascular plants

Explanation:

• Mosses are non-vascular plants that do not have water conductive tissue made up of xylem and phloem. They have simpler systems for conducting food and water.
• They require water for completing their life cycle due to the following reasons:
• 1) They live in damp and marshy areas on land and therefore cannot survive in dry regions.
• 2) They require water to complete their life cycle through sexual reproduction because the sperm of mosses (antherozoids) are flagellate and need water to swim to the eggs.
