Why do moss grow on rocks?

They don't grow or live on all rocks. The only time that mosses will grow on rocks is if those rocks are wet with moisture all the time. If they (the rocks) are not wet with moisture all the time, moss will not grow on them. Moss also grows on the north-side of trees, since that is the wettest part of the trees, and because the sun does not get at the north-side of the trees, thus being unable to dry that moist area up.
