Moss primarily requires water, light, and nutrients from its environment to thrive. It absorbs nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium from rainwater, decaying organic matter, and the substrate it grows on. Mosses also benefit from acidic conditions, which can enhance nutrient availability. They do not need soil in the traditional sense, as they can grow on rocks, tree trunks, and other surfaces.
Peat moss works well in terrariums.
osmosis and difusion
Moss obtains nutrients for its growth and survival through its leaves, which can absorb water and nutrients from the air and surrounding environment. This process is known as osmosis, where the moss takes in essential nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus to support its growth.

Moss is a nonvascular plant, meaning it lacks specialized tissues that transport water and nutrients throughout the plant. Instead, moss absorbs water and nutrients directly through its cells. This limits their size and ability to grow tall.
Like any other plants, it requires nutrients and moistness to grow.
Moss contains rhizoids that anchor the moss and absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
A moss sporophyte acquires nutrients through its connection to the gametophyte, which provides it with water and nutrients through a structure called the seta. This allows the sporophyte to grow and develop in its environment.
bacteria! usually bacteria eats algie. But if moss contains algie then little bits of moss fall into its mouth. sometimes, the lithosome also can digest the moss but other germs can so.... :) hope that helped haha..:) i am such a nerd!! :/ haha
Red moss another kind of the 12,000 species of moss the black one is DEAD.
No, Spanish moss is not a decomposer. It is an epiphytic plant that absorbs nutrients and moisture from the air and rain. Decomposers are organisms that break down dead organic matter into simpler compounds.
Rhizoids are the thin rootlike structures in moss that anchor the plant to the substrate and absorb water and nutrients. They are not true roots but serve a similar function in moss.
