Best Answer

Seaweed do not have to live in water all the time - think of inter-tidal periods when they are not in the water. Only some kinds of moss live in the water. Many kinds of mosses never live in the water - but do tend to live in a damp environment. The underlying concept to think about is dessication.

Seaweed has to live in the ocean because they need the ocean's salt water to survive.

You can not get a tub of salt water and think that you can grow seaweed.

Moss reproduces by having its cells split into two repeatedly.
