Mosses resemble higher plants in several ways, including their multicellular structure and the presence of photosynthetic tissues, which allow them to capture sunlight for energy. Both groups exhibit a life cycle that includes a dominant sporophyte stage and a gametophyte stage, though mosses primarily exist in the gametophyte form. Additionally, mosses have specialized cells for water and nutrient transport, though these are less advanced than those found in higher plants. Despite these similarities, mosses lack true roots, stems, and leaves, distinguishing them from higher plants.

Which plants are the first to grow during primary succession?
mosses...
Is mould a non flowering plant?
There are 11 main phyla of non-flowering plants, including mosses and club mosses. Though some plants are called mosses (e.g. scotch moss), these flowering plants aren't true mosses.
Why are mosses the most abundant plants in the polar regions?
Mosses are the most abundant plants in polar regions because they can tolerate low temperatures
What is a small plant that lacks vascular tissue?
Plants such as the mosses, liverworts, and hornworts.
What do you call lower bryophytes?
Lower bryophytes are often referred to as liverworts, hornworts, and mosses. These are simpler plants that lack true vascular tissue found in higher plants and are typically small in size.
What are club mosses?
Club mosses are small, non-vascular plants that reproduce by spores. They belong to the Lycophyte group and are typically found in moist habitats such as forests and wetlands. Club mosses are known for their spore-producing structures that resemble clubs.
Is mosses a mechanical or chemical?

What do ferns and mosses have instead of seeds?
Ferns are seedless vascular plants while mosses are just seedless.
What do you mean by flowering and non flowering plants?
A flower is the organ of reproduction of the higher plants or Spermaphytes. Non flowering plants such as ferns and mosses reproduce by spores therefore do not require flowers.

What is a seedless plants?
Mosses, ferns, and liverworts have no plants.
How do mosses and club mosses differ?
Unlike true mosses, club mosses have vascular tissue.
What are the names of the non flowering plants?
For the higher plants, gymnosperms is the group. In the lower plants, non-flowering is the norm, ferns, mosses, lycopods, fungi, and in New Zealand we have Tmesipteris. (me sip ter iss)
