Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The correct option is B bryophytes. Lichens invade the rocks and break rocks to form soil. Mosses, which are bryophytes, grow to trap moisture.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lichens have two components-a fungus and an alga or cyanobacteria living in association with one another to give the appearance of a single plant. Lichens grow on soil, on trunks and branches of trees and shrubs, and on rocks…. they are rarely found in water.
