Answer 2

Moss peristome takes part in the (a) spore dispersal

• Peristome functions when the spores are dispersed.
• Peristome constitutes rings of teeth at the rim of the moss capsule like projectiors.
• In Funaria the number of peristomes is 32, arragned in each of the outer exostome and the inner endostom in two rings of 16.
• Peristome is the specialized structure of sporangium allowing the spore to discharge gradually, rather than releasing them all at once.
