Moss spreads by a variety of methods. Most species produce small capsules above the leafy part of the plant containing spores. These spores are easily dispersed by wind, water or traffic. After coming into contact with soil, they germinate and form a plant-like structure that is the first stage in the development of moss. Moisture and minerals are absorbed by rhizoids (similar to roots) and produce new buds which give rise to new stems.

∙ 12y agoMoss is actually a plant, not a fungi. Mosses belong to the phylum Bryophyta and are non-vascular plants. Mosses do not have leaves, they have "leaf-like" structures. Only plants with vascular systems have true leaves. Mosses also do not have roots, they have rhizoids which are "root-like" structures. These rhizoids are primarily for anchoring the moss to it's surface and have little to do with water and mineral absorption as roots in vascular plants do. This is another difference between non-vascular mosses and vascular plants.

∙ 13y agoNo, Mosses do not have true tissue, leaves, stems, or roots because they are part of the bryophytes which lack a vascular structure.

What two plants have no true stem or roots or leaves?
"Fungus And mosses dont have true leaves, stems or roots." Fungi aren't plants... they are fungi. More closely related to animals than plants.
Do xylem and phloem exist only in roots and stems?
True Xylem & phloem are found every where there are vascular bundles including roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits etc.
Are house plants vascular?
Yes. All typical house plants transport water and food through veins (phloem and xylem) in their leaves, stems, and roots. Non-vascular plants include "true" mosses, liverworts, and land algae.
How are club mosses different from true mosses?
Club mosses are vascular while bryophytes (true mosses) are nonvascular.
True or false Dandelion leaves are high in vitamin C?
HorseIsle Quiz Answer: true
What trait do ferns have that mosses do not?
Mosses are non-vascular plants whereas ferns are vascular. In ferns Sporophyte is dominant but in mosses gametophyte is dominant generation. Ferns have definite roots but in mosses leaves and roots are mostly false.
How are horsetail and club mosses similar to fern?
they all have true stemes
What two plants have no true stem or roots or leaves?
"Fungus And mosses dont have true leaves, stems or roots." Fungi aren't plants... they are fungi. More closely related to animals than plants.
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.
Do xylem and phloem exist only in roots and stems?
True Xylem & phloem are found every where there are vascular bundles including roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits etc.
The manioc is a plant with large stems from which flour can be made. True or False?
False.
What characterizes a bryophyte?
Bryophytes are the simplest of plants . They are non-vascular plants that include mosses, liverworts, & hornworts.
Do Thallophytes have true root stems and leaves?
yes
In what ways do club mosses and mosses differ from each other?
Club mosses are vascular plants with erect stems that bear spores in club-shaped, cone-like structures. And True mosses are non-vascular plants which have simple leaflike, rootlike, and stem like parts. They're not true leaves, roots, or stems because they lack vascular tissues.
Are pine needles leaves true or false?
True
What is true moss?
True mosses are non-vascular plants which have simple leaflike, rootlike, and stem like parts. They're not true leaves, roots, or stems because they lack vascular tissues. Mosses and liverworts are referred to as bryophytes, which means "mosslike plants".Club mosses are vascular plants with erect stems that bear spores in club-shaped, cone-like structures. Club mosses are also called "ground pine" because they grow along the ground in temperate regions and superficially resemble miniature pines.
Vascular plants are land plants that have roots, stems, and leaves?
true
