Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Mosses are an example of Bryophytes. Mosses are non-vascular plants (not transporting water and minerals within) and produce spores for reproduction.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mosses and liverworts (collectively known as bryophytes) are non-vascular plants, meaning that they lack the inner tubes that move water throughout them like other plants with roots, stems, and leaves. Instead, they absorb water more like a paper towel, and can live dry for a long time without dying.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
