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).
