Which of the two main plant groups do mosses and liverworts belong to?
Mosses are bryophytes. Liverworts (aka hepatics), while referred to as bryophytes, are called marchantiophytes.Both of these groups are non-vascular plants, along with the hornworts.
How do mosses absorb water?
Because mosses do not have veins to transport food and water, every part of the part is consistent in absorbing water and nutrients necessary for the plant. Mosses do not have roots, but have rhizoids, which are branched threads that help absorb water. They also aid in keeping the moss anchored to the ground.
