Bryophytes (/ ˈ b r aɪ. ə ˌ f aɪ t s /) [2] are a group of land plants (embryophytes), sometimes treated as a taxonomic division, that contains three groups of non-vascular land plants: the liverworts, hornworts, and mosses. [3]
Bryophytes — non-vascular plants, that include mosses, hornworts, and liverworts. They are cryptogams (spore-plants). The study of Bryophytes is named bryology
Chloroplasts (green discs) and accumulated starch granules in cells of Bryum capillare. 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.
The specific problem is: The list is too dependent on color to convey important information, and colors do not meet accessibility standards. Please help improve this article if you can. ( December 2024 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this message )
This category should contain only articles about the families of bryophytes, when the articles are at the scientific name, or redirects from the scientific name in the case of monotypic taxa or articles at the English name.
Bryology (from Greek bryon, a moss, a liverwort) is the branch of botany concerned with the scientific study of bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, and hornworts). Bryologists are people who have an active interest in observing, recording, classifying or researching bryophytes. [1]
Most bryophytes, such as these mosses, produce stalked sporophytes from which their spores are released. The non-vascular land plants, namely the mosses (Bryophyta), hornworts (Anthocerotophyta), and liverworts (Marchantiophyta), are relatively small plants, often confined to environments that are humid or at least seasonally moist.
This list is incomplete; you can help by adding missing items. ( August 2008 ) The following is a list of published bryophyte floras covering counties or other local areas of Britain , together with a list of vascular plant floras which also contain bryophyte lists.
