Answers
Bryophytes are an informal group consisting of three divisions of non-vascular land plants (embryophytes): 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.

The general characters of bryophytes are as follows -
• The bryophytes are small in size than the other normal plants.
• The bryophytes don't have roots like any other normal plants. In the place of roots, they have rhizoids.
• Unlike the normal plants, bryophytes don't have vascular tissue, cuticles etc.
• The bryophytes reproduce by the spore production method.
Examples of bryophytes are -
1) Pincushion moss.
2) Common liverwort.
