Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Bryophytes thrive in damp, shady environments, but they can also be found in diverse and even extreme habitats, from deserts to arctic areas. Globally there are around 11, 000 moss species, 7, 000 liverworts and 220 hornworts. As they are not flowering plants, bryophytes reproduce by spores instead of seeds.
Detailed explanation-2: -They grow directly out of the fertilized egg in the archegonia, and remain dependent on the parent gametophyte for their nutrition. Hence the correct option is D.
Detailed explanation-3: -Because they don’t have roots and stems to transport water, mosses dry out very quickly, so they are usually found in moist habitats. The only place they don’t grow is in salt water.
