Detailed explanation-1: -Mosses are non-flowering plants which produce spores and have stems and leaves, but don’t have true roots. Mosses, and their cousins liverworts and hornworts, are classified as Bryophyta (bryophytes) in the plant kingdom.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Mosses have green, flat structures that resemble true leaves, which absorb water and nutrients; some mosses have small branches. Mosses have traits that are adaptations to dry land, such as stomata present on the stems of the sporophyte.
