True mosses generally grow taller than club mosses. True mosses, also known as Bryophyta, have a simple leafy structure and can grow up to several inches tall. In contrast, club mosses, also known as Lycopodiophyta, have a more complex vascular structure and usually grow lower to the ground, forming dense carpets or small clusters.
Why do mosses grow low on the ground?
It lacks vascular tissue. Vascular tissue is what pumps the water from the roots to the top of the plant. Because moss has no vascular tissue and no formal root system it has to be small enough to conserve water and make it easy for water to reach the entire plant
What plants would you expect to grow lowest to the ground?
Plants that typically grow lowest to the ground include mosses, lichens, ground cover plants like creeping thyme or phlox, and some succulents like hens and chicks. These plants are adapted to thrive in low-light and low-water conditions, allowing them to hug the ground and efficiently absorb nutrients.

Which type of nonvascular plant grows low to the ground?

During succession what might become the limiting factor for sun loving mosses as taller plants begin to grow?
The limiting factor for sun-loving mosses as taller plants grow during succession would likely be reduced light availability. As taller plants shade the ground below them, the mosses may receive less sunlight, causing them to struggle to photosynthesize and grow. This reduced light can hinder the mosses' ability to compete with the taller plants for resources.
Which plants are the first to grow during primary succession?
mosses...
What is a tree line?
