a. Stalk - can raise the capsule above the ground to help release its spores
b. Spring - like structures - have a spring that compresses and then flies back spreading the spores
c. Have rhizoids (water absorbing structures)
Lichens, mosses, and liverworts are a few...
Liverworts!
Liverworts belong to the phylum Marchantiophyta.
liverworts do not have roots, flowers or sterms
The liverworts and the hornworts are non seed plants.
yes
Plants such as the mosses, liverworts, and hornworts.
Yes, liverworts have a simple stem-like structure called a thallus that lacks true vascular tissue. The thallus is where most of the photosynthesis and nutrient absorption occurs in liverworts.
Liverworts and hornworts are both types of bryophytes, but they differ in several key aspects. Liverworts typically have flat, ribbon-like structures or leafy thalli, while hornworts possess elongated, horn-like sporophytes that emerge from a thallus. Additionally, liverworts often reproduce through gemmae cups, while hornworts have a unique feature of having their sporophytes grow continuously from a basal meristem. These structural and reproductive differences highlight their distinct evolutionary adaptations within the bryophyte group.
Liverworts are eaten by various invertebrates, such as slugs, snails, and insects. Additionally, some birds and small mammals may also feed on liverworts as part of their diet.
Some examples of liverworts include Marchantia polymorpha, Pellia epiphylla, and Conocephalum conicum. Liverworts are small, non-vascular plants that typically grow in moist environments and are part of the bryophyte group.
