Why is moss always found in a wet place?
They have no vascular tissue, so they must pass the water along by diffusion. The moist environment provides plenty of water to diffuse into them. They only have little rhizoids instead of roots, so they cannot get moisture from deep in the ground. They need a film of moisture for the sperms to swim to the eggs in the gametophyte generation. Hope this helps!!

Do mosses grow in water?
Moss reproduces by having its cells split into two repeatedly. This process, known as asexual reproduction, is carried out best in warm, dark, and damp environments because: warmth makes them reproduce quicker, they do not need light [and actually prefer less of it], and because they require water to survive [basically for the same reasons we do, it's a very important componant to hello peepslife].
