A hornwort is a plant
My mum has Hornwort in her Kio pond and it has grown very well and the koi have not eaten it at all

It is usually elongated and consists of a sporangium at the top, which releases spores for reproduction. The sporophyte lacks true leaves or roots and relies on the gametophyte for nutrients.
