According to Backyard Nature: Liverworts are called liverworts because long ago the people who named them felt that the curious arrangement of cells on the surface of some liverworts was similar to the cell arrangement in actual livers taken from animals.
Recent genetic studies suggest that liverworts may be the ancestors of mosses, hornworts and all higher plants, but that's not for sure.
If you want to look for liverworts around your home, look in deeply shaded, moist areas, such as on he ground beneath shrubs on the north side of your house (if you live north of the Equator). Most species like cool, moist and shaded areas. They are green and make their own food using sunlight.
