What three phyla make up the bryophytes?

Answer 1

There is controversy, but until it is resolved: traditionally the bryophytes are divided into 3 main groups:

Marchantiophyta (liverworts),

Bryophyta (mosses),

Anthocerotophyta (hornworts).

Bryophytes are one of the two main groups of plants. Their distinguishing feature is that they are non-vascular plants. All other plants are vascular. They are spore-producing plants (but not all spore producers are byophytes), and none have flowers.

Answer 2

The three main classes of the bryophyta phylum include the: - Bryopsida Class (True Mosses), - Andreaeopsida Class (Lantern Mosses), and - Sphagnopsida Class (Peat Mosses).

The Bryopsida Class is the largest class of the Bryophyta phylum, it makes up about 95% of the world's mosses. These are classified as having spores with "teeth" that are exposed when the lid-like covering falls off the spore-producing capsule.

The Andreaeopsida Class includes mosses that grow on the surface of rocks; they have shoots in red and blackish colors. They get their name as "lantern mosses" from the spore-producing capsule that looks like a little paper lantern.

The Sphagnopsida Class includes Peat Mosses. These are large mosses found in acidic bogs.

Answer 3

The three phyla that make up the bryophytes are Marchantiophyta (liverworts), Bryophyta (mosses), and Anthocerotophyta (hornworts). Bryophytes are non-vascular plants that rely on moist environments for reproduction and growth.

Answer 4

The three groups of bryophytes are the horworts, mosses, and liverworts. These are all nonvascular plants that are spore producers without flowers.

Answer 5

Phylum Bryophyta have three main evolutionary lines; the mosses, the liverworts, and the hornworts.

Answer 6

Bryophytes include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts.
