What are 4 needs that plants and animals need?
Plants and animals needp:food,water,reproduction,digeston.
What do plants depend on weather for?
plants need weather to supply them with water and also to spread there seeds. Moss cant even reproduce without water
What do seedless plants need for reproduction?
tenderloins
Plants in the mountains?
In the mountains where temperature during winters comes to freezing of water, the plants develop essential oils in them to avoid freezing of free water. Thus plant need essential oils in them to survive in the mountains.
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.
Why do moss plants need to grow in damp places?
Moss and certain other families of plants such as ferns (pteridophytes) are very old in evolutionary terms, and need moist environments both to survive and to reproduce. More 'recent' or 'modern' plants have developed waxy cuticles and different internal structures and cell walls to stop dehydration. And they have also developed pollen which allows for fertilisation by wind transfer, insects, etc. Older families of plants are dependent on water not only because they dehydrate easily due to their structure, but because they have a complex lifecycle which involves fertilisation of female plants by male plants. This is acheived by the transfer of spermatophyte cells released by the male which swim through a film of water to the female. The female then develops of spores in the fruiting body (i.e. the sticky-up bit you sometimes see on moss) of the female moss which are released to grow into new moss plants. So without a moist environment, the moss dehydrates and can die, (although some species can survive without water for a long time, there are even desert mosses!), but definitely need water to reproduce.

Why do mosses need to live in a moist environment?
Moss is a plant, and that certain species of moss you are referring to needs lots of water.
Need 3 plants that grows on woods?
Mistletoe, Spanish moss, and ivy are three plants that grow on trees.
Will plants grow any other media aside from soil?
Yes. Some plants will grow in water. Some plants will grow in gel. Some plants will grow in a soil-less medium such as vermiculite and peat moss. Some plants just need air.
How do you make grass in the game alxemy?
You will need earth+moss to get grass.
Why do plants need a lot water?
All organisms need plenty of water to survive. All organisms on earth need some form of water, or at least biochemicals with similar traits to water. Water has a neutral pH, making it neither base nor acid. It helps organisms filter their bodies, energize the body, support immune systems, regulate body temperature(not plants), and reproduction. Plants need more because of their cell walls and water is not transported as well and increases its need for it.
How is sexual reproduction in plants different from sexual reproduction in mammals?
plants are a-sexual reproduction meaning that only one parent is need to make offspring and the offspring is identical to the parent. sexual reproduction is in mammals where two parents are needed to create offspring.
