Liverworts have three unique traits:
Most have special structures known as oil bodies in their leaf cells.Their spore-shedding generation is not green and lives only a short time.Their spore capsules swell and the spores mature before the capsule’s stalk starts to lengthen.
Differences between hornworts and liverworts
Although they look similar to thalloid liverworts, hornworts differ in four important ways:
Most hornworts trap sunlight with only one or two massive chloroplasts in each of their cells (liverworts have dozens).Their chloroplasts can store carbon dioxide, a vital raw material for photosynthesis (liverworts cannot).They never have oil bodies in their cells (at least 90% of liverworts have oil bodies).Hornwort capsules continue to make and shed new spores for weeks (a liverwort spore capsule usually sheds all its spores within a few hours).
