1. The gametophytic plant body may be thallose or foliose in Mosses
The gametophytic plant body in liverworts can be prostrate, branched filamentous, thalloid protenema or leafy erect gametophyte in Liverworts
2. On the ventral surface of the thallus unicellular rhizoids and simple multicellular scales are present in Mosses.
Rhizoids are multicellular branched with oblique septa in Liverworts.
3. Sex organs are present on the dorsal surface of the thallus and develop from superficial cells in Mosses.
Sex organs develop from the superficial cells from the tip of the leafy gametophyte in Liverworts.
4. Elaters are generally present in Mosses but absent in Riccia.

No. Sphagnum is a kind of moss, commonly called peat moss.
algae, moss, liverwort, hornwort
Moss and liverworts are held in the ground by their rhizoids, which are small, root-like structures that anchor them to the soil or substrate. Rhizoids also help the plants to absorb water and nutrients from their surroundings.
Hepaticea [the things you have to do to solve crosswords!!]
Liverwort sporangia produce spores for reproduction. They need a moist environment to release the spores effectively. Air movement helps disperse the spores to new locations for germination and growth.

Liverwort
Iceland lichen, cetraria, fucus, muscus, and eryrngo-leaved (spiny-leaf) liverwort.
Different of cactus and liverworm
They both: use photosynthesis do not produce seeds or flowers use spores to reproduce have a dominant gametophyte stage
