BRYOPHYTES

Bryophytes are non-vascular plants which consist of 3 phyla. Phykum Hepatophyta are the liverworts, phylum Anthocerophyta are the hornworts and phylum bryophyta are the mosses which everyone is most familiar with. These organisms are really interesting. They don't have vascular tissue, but each cell absorbs water and minerals. I could not get hold of pictures of the liwerworts and the hornworts, but here are some mosses. They are really cool!
