The leaves look like the lobes of a liver.
Edited answer:
The thalloid body of liverwort with apical notch looks like liver, hence the liverwort. These plants do not have true leaves.
An example of a liverwort is Marchantia polymorpha, commonly known as the common liverwort. It is a small, non-vascular plant that grows close to the ground in damp environments. Liverworts are one of the earliest land plants, with over 9,000 species found across the world.
A rhizoid holds a moss or liverwort in the ground.
No; liverworts do not have leaves. The massive compound leaves in some ferns and gymnosperms are called fronds.
Liverwort gametophytes obtain their food through photosynthesis. They have chlorophyll-containing cells that can capture sunlight and convert it into energy through photosynthesis. This process allows them to make their own food from carbon dioxide and water.
A gemmae cup is a cup-shaped structure found in liverworts that contains gemmae, which are small, asexual reproductive structures. Gemmae cups are usually located on the upper surface of the thallus (body) of the liverwort plant. They are specialized for dispersing gemmae, which can give rise to new plants under suitable conditions.
The genus of liverwort is Hepatica.
Liverwort is the name of a moss-like plant.
Hepaticea [the things you have to do to solve crosswords!!]
The genus species name for a liverwort can vary depending on the specific species. Some common liverwort genera include Marchantia, Pellia, and Conocephalum. Each species within these genera will have a unique binomial name following the format Genus species (e.g., Marchantia polymorpha).
No, a liverwort is nonvascular :)

Liverwort sporangia produce spores for reproduction. They need a moist environment to release the spores effectively. Air movement helps disperse the spores to new locations for germination and growth.
yes
