Bryophytes require water for fertilization.
Explanation:
All bryophytes are depend on water medium for sexual reproduction.
During fertilization, the sperm are released which contain flagella but the eggs are non motile.
Thus motile sperm travels into the water with the help of flagella and search for the non motile egg for fertilization.
Thus bryophytes are called as amphibian plant as they grow in the soil but during fertilization they require water medium.

Bryophytes require water for fertilization.
Explanation:
- Bryophytes are the classes of plants which are also called as amphibious plants.
- Bryophytes need both soil and water for their living.
- The bryophytes perform the sexual reproduction where the sperms or the male microgametes are let down in the water from the anthredium.
- The female reproductive structure i.e archaegonium is also placed in water into which the microgametes come in by chemotactic movements specially malic acid and fertilize.
- In absence of water, this movement of gametes won't have been possible. So water is essential for fertilization of bryophytes.
