Detailed explanation-1: -Mosses are flowerless small plants found under the division Bryophyta along with liverworts and hornworts. They do not possess any vascular system like xylem and phloem, and mainly absorb water and nutrients through their leaves. They are mostly found in damp, shady locations as mats or clumps on the forest floor.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mosses and liverworts are small, primitive, non-vascular plants. They lack the conductive tissue most plants use to transport water and nutrients. Instead, moisture is absorbed directly into cells by osmosis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mosses are small and lack a tubular vascular system. They are non-vascular plants and absorb water. They depend on diffusion for the movement of water in and out of the plant. They require a moist environment for reproduction.
