Detailed explanation-1: -1. They’re ancient plants. 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 need water for fertilization because they lack the pollen granules used by other types of plants to deliver sperm cells to ovules or the egg cells within the ovules.

Detailed explanation-3: -Botanically, mosses are non-vascular plants in the land plant division Bryophyta. They are usually small (a few centimeters tall) herbaceous (non-woody) plants that absorb water and nutrients mainly through their leaves and harvest carbon dioxide and sunlight to create food by photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mosses are a type of bryophyte, which is a group of non-vascular plants. This means they lack the vascular tissue, known as xylem and phloem, that most plants have for transporting water from roots to leaves and stems. Instead, mosses have rhizoids, or small hair-like appendages that anchor the moss and take in water.
