Moss is a plant, and that certain species of moss you are referring to needs lots of water.
Ancient non-seed vascular plants flourished compared to how they live now. This is because the earth's climate was much more humid and was warmer. Over time, it became what it is now Cooler and Drier. Now these types of plants can only live in the moister parts of the earth.
Their large surface areas make them dry out easily.
They mainly live in a watery environment because its easier for them to move around.
Bryophytes, mosses, are eukaryotic. They have chlorophyll a and b as well as xanthophylls and carotenoid pigments for photosynthesis.
About 470 million years ago the first plants to evolve these features began to grow out of the water. The mosses and liverworts of today are similar to these early plants. They, like their ancient cousins, still need water in order to reproduce, since the sperm has to swim to the egg.
Mosses require water for fertilization, as they reproduce through spores that need a wet environment to disperse. Additionally, mosses lack vascular tissue to transport water, so they rely on absorbing moisture directly from their surroundings to stay hydrated.
so they can fertalize
Ferns, club mosses, and horsetails have primitive vascular systems that rely on water to transport nutrients and reproduce. Moist soil provides the necessary environment for these plants to absorb water and nutrients through their roots, facilitating their growth and development. Additionally, these plants typically release spores into the environment for reproduction, which requires moisture for dispersal and germination.
Mosses and grasses can survive in climates from where tall trees cannot is that mosses and grasses need a moist environment to survive which where trees cannot survive. I'm awsome S-SOMETHING W-WE A-AMERICANS G-GOT
Mosses are non-vascular because they have no vascular tissue inside of them. That is why mosses need to live near moist areas so they can absorb the water directly because they don't have long roots to absorb the water.
wet,cold and having alot of plants to eat and to blah to the blah to the blah
They are related to lobsters, shrimp, and crabs. They have gills, and need a moist environment/habitat to live in.
Aquatic snails cannot live on land for extended periods of time as they require a moist environment to survive. They are not able to adapt to a terrestrial environment due to their need for water to breathe and move.
because they have gills. and they need a moist environment
definitly not. they need moisture to live and will die without it. they need 70-80% relative humidity and both salt and freshwater to keep moist.
Mosses need to live in damp and shaded environments because they lack roots and vascular tissues to transport water. These conditions help mosses to absorb water and nutrients directly through their leaves. Additionally, moisture helps them with reproduction and protects them from drying out.
Non-vascular plants, such as mosses and liverworts, lack specialized structures for water transport, so they rely on direct absorption of moisture from their surroundings. They require a moist environment to facilitate the movement of water and nutrients through diffusion. Additionally, many non-vascular plants reproduce via spores that need water for fertilization, making moist habitats essential for their life cycle. Without sufficient moisture, these plants would struggle to survive and reproduce.
