How are liveworts and hornworts different?

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.
