Question

which kingdom is called amphibians of the plant kingdom. write its properties.

Answer 1

Bryophytes are known as amphibians of the plant kingdom because these plants live in soil but they need water for asexual reproduction. They were non-vascular plants. Asexual reproduction is the main method of reproduction in bryophytes. It occurs through the production of spores. Though bryophytes live on the land, they require water for fertilization. The sperms of bryophytes swim through water to the eggs with the help of their flagella. So bryophytes are called amphibians of the plant kingdom. They include Mosses, liverworts and hornworts.
