how spores of mosses differ from spores of liverworts
The vascular plants are differentiated in to root and shoot having conducting tissue in the form of xylem and phloem whereas mosses and liverworts have rhizoides in place of roots and lack xylem and phloem.
Plants such as the mosses, liverworts, and hornworts.
The three major groups of nonvascular plants are mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. These low-growing plants live in moist environments where they can absorb water and other nutrients directly from their environment.
Mosses and liverworts absorb water from the soil through the process of osmosis.
vascular
liverworts do not have roots, flowers or sterms
1. The gametophytic plant body may be thallose or foliose in Mosses The gametophytic plant body in liverworts can be prostrate, branched filamentous, thalloid protenema or leafy erect gametophyte in Liverworts 2. On the ventral surface of the thallus unicellular rhizoids and simple multicellular scales are present in Mosses. Rhizoids are multicellular branched with oblique septa in Liverworts. 3. Sex organs are present on the dorsal surface of the thallus and develop from superficial cells in Mosses. Sex organs develop from the superficial cells from the tip of the leafy gametophyte in Liverworts. 4. Elaters are generally present in Mosses but absent in Riccia. Elaters are absent in Liverworts. 5. Stomata and chlorophyll are absent in the wall of the capsule of the Sporophyte in Mosses Stomata and chlorophyll are present for gaseous exchange in the sporophyte in Liverworts. 6. Dehiscence of the capsule is irregular in Mosses. Dehiscence of the capsule is regular in liverworts.
