Mosses and ferns are the first plant ever to have appeared on this planet. They are different to other plants because they can neither drown or dry off. They can live with or without soil, with or without water. Look at old stone walls. See them thrive even though nothing is done to keep them, quite the opposite actually. Planet history tells of how they survived when our planet was only water. They somehow managed to reach chores where they appear and settle there. Nothing can kill them. They survived ice ages, bad floods, extreme heat etc. even Chernobyl!
PLants need to be looked after. They need a certain amount of soil, water and heat. Ferns and mosses may turn yellow or sometimes brown but their spores keep multiplying and they never die.
Ferns and Moss produce spores in structures called sporangia. There are often numerous sporangia in a larger structure called a sorus. When the sporangia rupture, the spores are released.
Spores
Lichens and mosses erode rocks by producing acids. These acids lead to the deterioration of rocks, such as limestone and marble.
mosses and lichens
Lichens and mosses help to form soil by breaking down the rocks that they are attached to.
Plnats grow on rocks like lichens and mosses.
Because Lichens and Mosses grow on barren rocks and help in the formation of soil.
Mosses reproduce by spores.
None that I know of. Plants reproduce, sometimes, by making spores. The Fern plant and the true mosses do, for example.
In mosses, lichens, and liverworts
The tundra climate is cold all year and includes mosses and lichens. There is permafrost and the temperature is always cold.
No...grass, herbs, lichens and mosses
