∙ 12y ago
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.

Are mosses unicellular or multicellular?
Mosses are part of the plant kingdom and are not unicellular
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.
Why are mosses usually found in moist areas?
Moss is a plant, and that certain species of moss you are referring to needs lots of water.
Which plant does not have tubes?
Mosses do not have tubes for moving nutrients and water. They also do not have any true leaves, stems, or roots. Nonvascular plants also do not have transport tubes.
What adaptations would a plant living in a river need that one living in a pond would not need?

What plant phylum doMosses and liverworts belong to?
Botanically, mosses are bryophytes, or non-vascular plants. They can be distinguished from the apparently similar liverworts (Merchantiophyta or Hepaticae) by their multi-cellular rhizoids. Other differences are not universal for all mosses and all liverworts, but the presence of clearly differentiated "stem" and "leaves", the lack of deeply lobed or segmented leaves, and the absence of leaves arranged in three ranks, all point to the plant being a moss. They both are considered, by botanists, to be bryophytes.
How do mosses and liverworts differ from vascular plant?
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.
How is a liverwort different from a moss?
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.
