There is controversy, but until it is resolved: traditionally the bryophytes are divided into 3 main groups:
Marchantiophyta (liverworts),
Bryophyta (mosses),
Anthocerotophyta (hornworts).
Bryophytes are one of the two main groups of plants. Their distinguishing feature is that they are non-vascular plants. All other plants are vascular. They are spore-producing plants (but not all spore producers are byophytes), and none have flowers.

∙ 13y agoThe three main classes of the bryophyta phylum include the: - Bryopsida Class (True Mosses), - Andreaeopsida Class (Lantern Mosses), and - Sphagnopsida Class (Peat Mosses).
The Bryopsida Class is the largest class of the Bryophyta phylum, it makes up about 95% of the world's mosses. These are classified as having spores with "teeth" that are exposed when the lid-like covering falls off the spore-producing capsule.
The Andreaeopsida Class includes mosses that grow on the surface of rocks; they have shoots in red and blackish colors. They get their name as "lantern mosses" from the spore-producing capsule that looks like a little paper lantern.
The Sphagnopsida Class includes Peat Mosses. These are large mosses found in acidic bogs.

What advances in the evolutionary development have the liverworts made over the thallophytes?
The liverwort is a member of the bryophyte family. The bryophytes are mostly made up of mosses and resemble the algae of the thallophyte family in many ways, however the bryophytes have evolved into a multi-cell organism while the thallophytes are only single-celled.
Are there really three amigos or did they make it up?
It is a legend
Make up different phyla?
the different domains and kingdoms specify the phylums of different organisms
What are bryophytes mostly made up of?
cells.
How many phylum did we have?
Do you mean, 'How many phyla are there on Earth?' There are more than 20 phyla of bacteria, over 30 phyla of animals and 12 phyla of plants. Fungi and protists, who knows.....? Add up all these phyla, and you can see there is quite a lot.
Structures in tracheophytes that are similar to rhizoids in bryophytes?
bryophytes are non vascular plants while tracheophytes are vascular plant
Do bryophytes draw up water by osmosis?
Bryophytes are a type of non-vascular plants that draw up water by using osmosis. One of the more well known plants within this group are species of moss.
How many phyla are made up of invertebrates?
All phyla except for one (Chordata) include only invertebrates, so 8 phyla include only invertebrates. The phylum Chordata is made up of the subphylum Vertebrata so therefore Chordata also has some species in it that are invertebrates. Humans are included in the phylum Chordata as well as the subphylum Vertebrata.
What makes up the largest of all animal phyla includes invertebrates with jointed legs and separated body parts?
Centipedes are what makes up the largest of all animal phyla and includes invertebrates with jointed legs and separated body parts.
Which three phases make up interphase?
The three phases that make up interphase are G1, S, and G2.
Why are bryophytes are called as amphibious plants?
Mosses belong to the division Bryophyta. Bryophytes are generally terrestrial plants but they need water in order to reproduce. As moss is a bryophyte even it is a terrestrial plant which needs abundant moisture for growth and reproduction. So mosses (Bryophytes) are called the amphibians of the Plant Kingdom.
What are the three layers that make up earth?
The three main layers that make up Earth is:CORE, MANTLE, and the CRUST
Why water must be present for the bryophytes to complete the sexual portion of the life cycle?
The male sex cells,androcytes of bryophytes are motile and require a medium to swim in to reach the female sex organ for fertilisation.Hence water is essential as it becomes the medium for the androcyte to swim.
A kingdom may be subdivided into only one Phylum.?
A kingdom may be subdivided into more than one Phylum. Several subdivisions known as phyla are the ones that make up a kingdom.
