Correct, a fern is not a type of bryophyte. Ferns belong to a different plant group called Pteridophytes, while bryophytes include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. Ferns have vascular tissues for conducting water and nutrients, while bryophytes lack true vascular tissues.
Ferns (A+)
The common name for a bryophyte is moss.
Bryophytes are non-vascular plants that include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. A type of plant that is not a bryophyte would be a flowering plant, such as a rose or a sunflower, which belong to the group known as angiosperms. Other examples include ferns, which are vascular plants but not bryophytes, and gymnosperms like pine trees, which also do not fall under the bryophyte category.

What is moss
Bryophytes are non-vascular plants that include three main groups: mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. A type of plant that is not a bryophyte would be a flowering plant, such as a rose or a sunflower, which belongs to the group of vascular plants known as angiosperms. These plants have specialized tissues for transporting water and nutrients, unlike bryophytes, which rely on diffusion.
