that they're short, nonvascular, and produce spores
Moss is a autotroph so no it does not
I don't think so.
Moss is a nonvascular plant so it has to grow on a tree for support.
The antheridium is the male sex organ of a moss, and the archegonium is the female sex organ. These two, when joined produce moss offspring. So, why is it important in the life cycle of a moss? It's because moss need them so that they can reproduce.
As far as I know there is not paint that "stops moss growth" The problem needs to be fixed by killing the sources of the growth of mildew and moss. Perhaps it is a moisture problem. You need to kill the moss first then paint it with a special coating. I called Sherwin Williams and they helped me out tremendously. Just make sure you tell them if you have a pitched roof or a not. It makes a difference.
No, moss can undergo photosynthesis so can make their own food and are therefore producers.
Moss grows anywhere it can. If an indoor surface is clean moss won't grow on it, but outdoors there's no such thing as a clean surface, so moss will grow there if the climatic conditions are right.
In the arctic, moss covers the ground and warms it up allowing other plants to grow. It is eaten by migrating animals such as birds. Some type of arctic moss was frozen for thousands of years and is helping scientists learn about life on our planet....
Yes, it would be. Moss grows just like everything else so it IS a plant.
Moss is a producer, so almost any primary consumer could be it's enemy. Mostly deer, birds, and other grazing animals threaten moss.
Fire moss , Ceratodon purpureus, is the most common moss in the world. It is stress tolerant and resistant to pollution, so it is capable of surviving in inhospitable arenas.
Botanists are people who study plants. Moss are plants, so Botanists study moss too.
