Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hint: Mosses and ferns are both primitive, nonflowering, seedless plants, but mosses are nonvascular plants with no real leaves, roots, stems, or sporophyte, whereas ferns are vascular plants with well-differentiated true leaves, stems, and roots, and the sporophyte relies on the sporophyte.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mosses have a structure called Protonema present in their life cycle and Funaria is a moss thus, the correct option is Funaria.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
