DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Mosses are non-vascular plants with about 12, 000 species classified in the Bryophyta. Unlike vascular plants, mosses lack xylem and absorb water and nutrients mainly through their leaves.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sphagnum moss is found on peatlands and other wet habitats, and is in fact the keystone species of our precious peatlands. Like all mosses, sphagnum is a non-vascular plant which means that it grows without roots and absorbs all of the water and nutrients it needs directly through the surface of its leaf-like scales.
