Mosses breathe through a process called diffusion, as they lack specialized structures like stomata found in higher plants. They absorb carbon dioxide directly from the air and release oxygen through their surfaces. This exchange occurs mainly through the cell walls and is facilitated by the moist environment that mosses typically thrive in, allowing gases to move easily. Overall, mosses rely on their thin, permeable tissues for gas exchange.
