Answer:
- Bryophytes are a hypothetical taxonomic division containing three groups of non-vascular land plants: the liverworts, hornworts and mosses. They are characteristically limited in size and prefer moist habitats although they can survive in drier environments. The bryophytes consist of about 20,000 plant species.
- Bryophytes may reproduce both sexually and vegetatively. Sexual reproduction involves the mixing of the genes of two parents, with the potential to produce new plants that differ, genetically, from each parent. In vegetative reproduction, there is no such mixing and each new plant is derived from just one parent plant.
- Bryophytes are regarded as transitional between aquatic plants like algae and higher land plants like trees. They are extremely dependent upon water for their survival and reproduction and are therefore typically found in moist areas like creeks and forests.
- In this part of the website you'll find descriptions of the features you can see in the three groups of bryophytes – the hornworts, liverworts and mosses.
