Question

Explain the general characters of Bryophytes. Give two examples of Bryophytes.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Bryophytes typically measure one to two centimeters tall. They lack tissues to provide structure and support that other land plants have, so they cannot grow taller. Instead, bryophytes grow close together into a cushion-like covering over soil, rocks, tree trunks, and leaves.

Though they require water for hydration as well as reproduction, they are able to survive on land because of special adaptations. Bryophytes are covered in a waxy cuticle that helps them to retain water. As water flows through an area, it is absorbed by bryophytes. Bryophytes hold on to water like a sponge, helping creatures who depend on water for survival as well as reducing flooding in an area.

Examples - Hornworts, liverworts, and mosses are all examples of bryophytes....

Thank you✌️✌️

Answer 2

characteristics of bryophytes are:

- Plants in this category do not have roots but have crude stems and leaves.

- They have rhizoides instead of roots which help the plants to anchor to surface.

- These roots of rhizoides do not absorb nutrients like other usual plant roots.

- Mosses release spores from their leaves which travels by water and make new Mosses in new locations.

- Water is very essential for Mosses to grow and spread. They can entirely dry out and survive. When in contact with water, they again revive and continue growing

Two examples of bryophytes are liverworts and Mosses
