Seedless plants require the liquid water because the sperm has to swim to reach the egg. This is in contrast to most seed plants, that fertilize using pollen transferred by wind or insects.
Seedless plants require liquid water for reproduction because they depend on the movement of sperm to reach the egg for fertilization. In the absence of seeds, water helps to disperse the sperm to reach the egg for fertilization to occur, as these plants do not rely on pollination by wind or animals.
Dispersed by wind blown spores and sperm requires water for reproduction
The three phyla that are seedless and nonvascular are Bryophyta (mosses), Hepatophyta (liverworts), and Anthocerophyta (hornworts). These groups of plants rely on water for reproduction and lack specialized tissues for transporting water and nutrients.
They get it from there stem

Land plants no longer require water as a medium for reproduction with evolution because with the evolution of seeds and pollen it is no longer needed.
seedless plant do not live longer. People are starting to like seedless plants.
A seedless nonvascular plant is a type of plant that reproduces using spores instead of seeds and lacks specialized tissues for water and nutrient transport. These plants typically grow low to the ground in damp environments due to their dependence on water for reproduction and survival. Examples include mosses and liverworts.
The first organisms that did not require water for reproduction were likely plants and some types of fungi. These organisms evolved mechanisms such as pollen and spores to reproduce in dry conditions without the need for water.
Seedless vascular plants, such as ferns, and non-vascular plants like mosses share a reliance on water for reproduction, as both produce spores instead of seeds. They have a dominant gametophyte generation, where the gametophyte stage is the more prominent and photosynthetic part of their life cycle. However, unlike mosses, which are non-vascular and lack true roots, stems, and leaves, seedless vascular plants possess vascular tissue, allowing them to transport water and nutrients more efficiently. This difference enables seedless vascular plants to grow larger and thrive in a wider range of environments compared to mosses.
Yes Seagrasses are Vascular plants, However Other "seaweed" are not.
Nonvascular plants and seedless vascular plants are both land plants that evolved from green algae. Both types also rely on water to be able to reproduce.
